I also thought that, but they are much to clean and regular for that, no
railroad company could afford that nice planks :-)

Right now i'm mostly using the wood color maps coming with povray.

do you make up these textures yourself?
the wall texture is great!

Thanks, the effects are caused by both texture and isosurface,  I wrote them
myself, even though i somehow sticked to the standard wood textures.  Most color
maps are those included in Pov.

    Hi, Mike.  I believe that there was actually a gold ring made this way
in the late seventies, in production. The idea being that the different
'holes' were different finger sizes, evidently wearable, but I haven't tried
it!
   This is the only time that I have seen this.

BTW it's a "func_5" isosurface (if you like to model it in gold :-) but it's
probably difficult to model different sized holes ...

This looks really good.  

I've got to fix the gamma on this machine. In fact I think I'll do 
it now.

I have a macro that lays out planks pseudo-randomly to create a floor of
wooden planks, given max/min lengths and so on.  Right now it takes two
textures, the wood texture and the grout texture (between the wood planks). 
I'm not entirely happy with it, as it's not intelligent about placing wood
ends (if it were a real wood floor there would be no ends close on two rows
of planks, and there would be places no edges were near where the baseboards
run) but I'd be happy to share if it means I get a look at your iso code. ;)
