Thank you :-)

Yes that was the question.

Ok thank you again

Stephen,
I like your plugin, and it is very useful. Also I think the update is going
to improve it. The 'Display output' will certainly make things easier for
showing what one is doing.
A question: is there a reason (yes, of course there is!! ;-> ) for the
texture being declared separately from the Moray standard declaration? It
does not matter too much, but now there is no way to make de texture 'local'
or 'world' or 'parent'. Again, I can live with this, just wondering.

This is a limitation of the Fullmoon Lua scripting plugin, which I used to
make my plugins. Without this added layer of simplification, I my not have
started to write plugins. Someday I would like to use VC++, but not today
:-)

Aah! Thank you! That answers it! Just keep up the good work.
I would like to do some programming again, like in the good old times, but
the clash between many things to do and a chronic lack of time somehow...
Ah, well!

Could someone check my webpage and tell me if I'm making any sense,
including the Samples link.
http://ca.geocities.com/morayplugin/

Post a reply to this message

Well it seems to work and to be neat.
Extra samples could be useful don't you think?
I have a f_ridged_mf  sea  and an asteroid with craters (based on Johannes
Dahlstrom function) somewhere on my HD, if you are interested :c)

Yes :-)
After I posted and had some time to think about what I asked for, I realized
I didn't word my question very well. My question should have been: If you
were looking for what I've been upto, new/updated plugins, additional info
on how to use... What whould you like to see?
For example:
One zip file that inculdes everything, or at least one for each section.
One plugin per zip file so you can download only the ones you want.
Lots of simple fast to render samples.
One scene that shows many examples.
A totoral that leads me along to build a scene.(like the Subdivision
Tutorial for Moray).
A section for NYW(not yet working) plugins so poeple can coment on apparent
usefullness.
More\less pictures.

I'm interested, as long as the originating author has no problem.

If you ask to a DSL or modem connected user, you'll get different answers.
:)

Yes

    > One scene that shows many examples.
May be too confusing, don't you think?

    > A totoral that leads me along to build a scene.(like the Subdivision

Shoul be nice :).

    > A section for NYW(not yet working) plugins so poeple can coment on

yes but wouldn't you get more feedback here?

    > More\less pictures.
Eeeerrrrrr less picture? what do you mean? :-p

    > I'm interested, as long as the originating author has no problem.
For the sea, I'm the author so, no problem.
I shall post it soon on Moray.binaries


p.b.s-f, so...

Cheers

==> Concerning Marc's offer: I have been working also on an ocean
isosurface. Difficult. Examples like that, coming from different horizons,
would be very helpful. I can send you my ocean also (although I am not very
satisfied with it)

Minor update: now you can use names with spaces in the Texture Editor. The
plugin should now change any (space) to (underscore) in the name, just like
Moray does. Pov-ray needs a continuous name.
Isosurface1b3.zip
