i've got the latest beta downloaded and installed. the biscuit scene renders
fine. i did notice that the examples scenes didn't come with this setup. i
know it's bad etiquette but a while back i may have stepped on more than one
or two of the scene files that came with v3.6 install. that brings to mind
how can we be sure that we are all working from the same files? is there a
place to go get (ftp) just the example files or am i just going to have to
get them from the last stable install?
finally .... i have "ksh" and perl on my windows machine (a win nt to unix
migration tool) and i could very easily produce a manifest of all the
example files. that might help in trying to figure out how to carve this up
into who's working on what.
Jim

At least one example scene showcasing the area highlights could be based
on this test render of mine:

Apart from that it would be nice to get some fresh air into the advanced
scenes subdir (or create a new sub-section called 'samples' or something).
basically to get some more 'real' sample scenes into the distribution;
there's surely a lot of nice work out there, perhaps some authors would be
willing to contribute some nice scenes (either on a derivative-work-ok or
possibly a no-derivatives basis).
While I still think examples such as fish13 are interesting, they do smell
a little of mothballs :-)

sounds like a good topic for the first or second round of the new IRTC ...

I should probably put a README in the program files/scenes folder to remind
folks where they've moved to.

please use the files that came with the latest beta.
if you need an FTP dir for uploading the results please let me know.

Another thing that's occurred to me that would be nice if it can be done is
a HTML page containing thumbnails and a short description of most of the
sample scenes. This could be included in the docs and the distro ... from
an end-users point of view, if I was installing POV for the first time, the
sample scenes would be the first thing I'd head for, and being able to see
what each one looks like in advance would be neat.

I'm reinstalling povray, and reading through all the beta notes. Once
I'm awake and have my head wrapped around what I need to do, I'll start
comparing a few images to make sure I understand it.

For MegaPOV i made a script that builds such a page based on the header
comments in the scene file - a somewhat extended version of what comes
with the POV-Ray 3.6 Unix version. The result:
