Subfolder in /scenes in 3.5 distro.
Just start rendering of /scenes/portfolio/*.ini in queue.
It will create set of images with browser engine realised via html files.
Read /scenes/portfolio/readme.txt for more informations.

Becouse of Screen_Plane() and Screen_Object() macros.
It is not necessary. With engine like portfolio it
is *enough* for texture browser.
Just look like it is simple to preview texture with it

// begin
#include "screen.inc"
#declare My_Super_Hiper_Texture=texture{
  pigment{
    wrinkles
    pigment_map{
      [0 granite color_map{[0 rgb x][1 rgb z]}]
      [1 agate]
    }
  }
  finish{ambient 1 diffuse 0}
}
Screen_Plane( My_Super_Hiper_Texture , 1, 0, 1)
// end
