Cool! Looks videogamesque. Texturing/lighting/layout are all good I think.

'cept for that blue 'n' gray one. Say, that pillar reminds me of the cactus guys
in Mario 64. And the 45 degree angles and sandy texture remind me of the pyramid
from the same level.

I like these textures.

Can I please see your code for them. I have looked in the help file for
MegaPOV, but I still do not understand exactly how to use this feature.

I was just thinking, 'Mario' would look good, in tippy-toe position, in
place of the objectionable object.

How do the warps work...
I'm not familiar with displace warp...?

Description is not very detailed in the Megapov docu, i already suggested a
change for that.  Maybe have a look at the displace warp tables on my website.

Source code for the texture is in p.t.s-f

Indeed a nice composition! I like ALL of it's ingredients! It reminds me
of Boulderdash, actually.  ;o)  If anyone konws what that was. A game on
Commodore64 and Amstrad CPC464, and ... there was an Amiga version as
well, etc..

Oh, the good old days could return in some 3D game today, hmmm...

I'm working on some changes, hope to have a new version soon, but real live is
quite a full time job right now ...
