Really? That would be great! (But Jpg is of course smaller in most cases.)

I'll try to keep that in mind. But wouldn't that also mean, that most images
should be to bright on my system? I did not notice that, yet. It seems to
me, that more of them are to dark. May be of course that the my/human eye is
more tolerant against brightness ...

Yes it does. Sometimes I should just do even more trial and error. If people
did not insist that it was to dark, I never would have screwed the
light_source up that much.

I was myself surprised how much details are visible on this bigger version.
I really love the way, POV works and that you are able to make as large
pictures as you want out of one sourcecode.

Lossless can only get so small. Besides, if Mac can't follow the [darn]
standard, why should *I* adapt, when 90% of the world will see it right
anyway? Couldn't they just make Mac browsers compensate for that? (Oh, I
forgot, software engineering is a lost art.)

Hm, can't see that much more details in this version, but here you are :-)

P.S. Did you find the code for the roof in p.t.s-f?

Oh, wow.  The birds are beautiful.  I like the cart too.  ?How was the hay
done?  Some complex isosurface or a whole bunch?  Media?  Also, how was the
irrgular stone in the back wall above the arch done?  I've been wanting to
do something like that for awhile, now.

Inquiring minds want to know.

It looks smashing, though.

Want the uv-image-map? I still could not figure out how to rotate the bird
when it is uv-mapped. The image simply does not rotate with it. But if you
just use it the way it is or switch it by scale <-1,1,1> it works good. Oh
and you can rotate by the z-axis (as you can see).

350 bunches of the "loose straw" by Christophe
Bouffartique randomly positioned in a box and rotated. I shrinked the box at
the upper end to make the whole think look more natural.

That wall? Oh, that one was easy. Its just an Iso with a
crackle-pigment-pattern. To make it look at least a bit more natural you
have to scale it down in y-direction. Actualy I don't like that much, 'cause
it just to random. People don't make such walls. They take rawly rectancular
stones, which they fit together in a somewhat ordered random way. there are
at least some horizontal lines in such a wall. I tried metric 1 crackle
ones -that was rectancular, but not at all ordered. I'm currently thinking
about a way to combine the brick pattern and the crackle pattern, but I
don#t know if it leads anywhere.

There is nothing wrong about that.

Maybe.  I don't currently have any bird projects, but I might have a use for
it.  I'll let you know.

Hmm, when I was in Europe, I saw a lot of walls like that.  There isn't much
choice when all you have is irregular stones.

Consider the following:

http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2000-12-31/summonin.jpg

and

http://darwin.cwru.edu/~wedig/summer/summer.png

Both sets of walls were made with my isw code (isosurface stone walls)  It
allows for placement of roughly rectangular blocks, but also will morph them
into cones and tubelike structures.  Any modification surface can be used
upon the blocks, and they're all independently textured.

So regular stones aren't a big deal to me. ;)
