I will be more than happy to oblige; there are test images up for them  

 from roughly 1 year ago, showing the last place I left them. Just searc
h  

for my handle in p.b.i.
There are but a few more things I wish to do with the snow and ice macro
s  

before I move on to improving the corrosion and vine/moss set, but if yo
u  

would like, I can send you a pre-alpha of the ones you would like. Perha
ps  

you will see improvements that I have not, and I could sure use some alp
ha  

testing. Feel free to e-mail me: HY = -, AT = @, DT = .

I usually only work in pov from 0ct-Mar of any given year.

Once I get this macro pack complete I intend to release it completely in
to  

the hands of the pov team/pov community, as far as rights and usage goes
.  

If they decide to include it in 3.7, cool. If not, cool. After all, I am
  

not so very important. ;)

My next projects, some concurrent, will be Christmas string lights, icic
le  

lights, net lights, continued adaptation of the standard pov-ray texture
s  

to work properly with radiosity (should be done soon), and the whopper o
f  

them all, adaptive implicit surface tessellation (this will be the most 
 

fun!).
