I wrote a couple of macros last weekend for my irtc image.
Examples of what they produce are shown below. Is anyone interested
in these?
If so, I'll tidy them up, write up some brief docs and post later this week

Who wouldn't be interested? The undulating floor is both good and different.

Yes! Would love to see the macros.

I am! I'll wait and see what I can do with them. What I am after is a kind
of texture for a floor that consists of parallel rows of large stones with
little spacing and lacking real regular dimensions (if you get me).

They look very good to me and yes I too would like to see them. I would
even be willing to host them on my web page for you so that they get
better exposure - if you are interested. I can later transfer them over
to the TAG's Macro Library when it goes online.

The wall will work in the official version, the floor is superpatch/megapov
only.

I'm not sure I get what you mean , but wouldn't that be easier with a height
field?

(Should be sometime
today)
As for the link from your website and place in the Macro library, I would be
honoured.

Now re-reading my post it seems very unclear to me too!
What I am after is a floor with long rows of stones having equal widths but
lengths differing slightly and randomly. Like:
-------------------------------------------------------
| | | | | |
-------------------------------------------------------
| | | | | |
-------------------------------------------------------
This would result in rows of stones that are all different from each
other....

Not too hard. I did something similar for a macro to create a distant city.
If I get time I'll write a macro up for you.

Now before I set you off to make a macro just for me: would that mean that
if I use it to make a floor B ten time the size of another floor A, the code
to parse will also be ten times larger?
Maybe I was thinking of a texture rather, like the 'flagstone' texture, but
then giving a result like I described. That would not increase the number of
objects, I understand?
A macro is something I can imagine of what it is doing; a texture is beyond
my grasp...

Hmmmm. <Thinking....> I'm not sure. Don't think so though.
In my current scene I'm using my uneven floor macro to create
two sidewalks. One is 15 units by 15 units and one is a couple of hundred.
They both parse almost instantaneously.
I have no idea how to create a texture for what you want. I tend to use
objects to create paved floors and walls as I have better control. That or a
height field.
btw. My current scene has 5000 objects (four walls, two sections of paved
floor and
a distant city) Parse time 1 minute, render 3 minutes.
If you would like to try a macro, I'll write one up when I get bored at
work.

Yeah, the mortar's a little thick in spots. Side-effect of the
method, I'm afraid, for which I have no easy solution. But it's
not all that implausible for paving stones to have varying mortar
thickness.

A strenuous activity designed to prevent one from becoming a computer chair
potato. Also encourages making friends who don't know the meaning of
max_trace_level and bezier patches. Useful for releaving the urges to
decapitate the boss when overtime interfears with rendering time.

Your post made me think that incase I ever need to go out of the house
I need to have some way of knowing if my render has finished so that
I can come back inside sharply.
Currently looking for a phone dialer (and hopefully something that
can send text messages to my mobile phone) so that my machine can
tell me when it's ready for some more punishment.

I am currently working on a set of Perl scripts which will make a web
page out of POV output, converting tgas to jpeg, anims to mpeg,
generating previews etc. It will be based on perl, cjpeg and cmpeg,
and all these are available for Windows as well so it might turn out
to be useful if/when it is done.
