Hi All,
I am doing an aquarium with exotic fishes and stones and corals and the
like.
I need textures for this. I am doing the shapes with Rhino and export
the meshes
via Moray to POV. The idea now is, not to have a complete image of the
fish to
stick to the fish, but procedural textures for the body, the fins etc.
I am glad about any hint/link to the subject. I have just some days for
this.
Thanks a lot.

get a fishing book from your local lib, some have very large pictures in
them, yes you guessed it, image mapping :), as fish as quite thin, dont
worry about the lack of UV in POVray, it works, trusst me.

it nails me in the shaping to a good degree, considering fins, eyes etc.
But I believe, this works quite ok when shaping after the picture.
A nice chance is it, to create exotic colors and structures for an unknown
fish. Might do that. I thought, someone might have procs to customize.
We'll see, thanks for the encouragement. Starting with the right xy of the
scan, imagemapping might work out ok.
