Lutz,

   I know now that some of the textures I want have already been converted.
Here is one the one that was driveing me to going bald ;)

//
//   CJFAlabaster is similar to PinkAlabaster, the colours and the scale
//   have been changed
//

#declare CJFAlabaster =
        texture {
                pigment {
                        bozo
                        turbulence 0.25
                        color_map {
                                [0,  1 color red 0.9 green 0.75 blue 0.75
                                       color red 0.6 green 0.6  blue 0.6 ]
                                }
                        scale 1
                        }
                finish { ambient 0.25 }
                }
        texture

                pigment

                        granite
                        color_map {
                        [0, 0.9 color DarkOrchid filter 1 color DarkOrchid
filter 0.5]
                        [0.9, 1 color DarkSlateBlue color DarkSlateBlue]
                                }
                        scale 5       // Twice as large as unit shape
                        }
        finish

                specular 1
                roughness 0.0001
                phong 0.25
                phong_size 75
                brilliance 4
                }
        }

I found it in a MTX that someone posted on the net.

Thanks,
