Hmmm! I have thought of something like that, but it has the disadvantage of
having to render the files using the same name or I would have to change the
HTML after each render, which isn't practical  :(


Best regards

Well, you can always reply by right-clicking on the message.... (of course, it
depends on how often you reply by email to messages - me, almost never).

Anyway, this is getting way off-topic (still, given the amount of on-topic in
off-topic, who am I to buck a trend?).

Not ugly and nice idea :-), it could be a cool background for a POV
dedicated website.

Well it's neither a viewer nor freeware, rather an image editor, but Picture
Publisher displays tiled backgrounds since version 7.

I keep a tiny html file handy for doing such tests.

i like the checkers. thats a very good variation on the common checker
plane. i was working on macros, loops and randomness in a variation on
checker plane with spheres. i'll go ahead and post it in a few minutes.

you could always write a little perl script, or i imagine even do it in
povray, yes povray is a better idea... have it output an html file based on
the image name of the image being rendered. shouldnt be too difficult at all
as long as you have access to the image name within povrays scene
description language.

peace,
ross

I dont know perl :( (but am learning python :) )

The idea of using pov to generate the html is cool, but I don't know how to
get the file name.

It can be hardcoded by hand. Its no big deal to #declare name =
'tilefile.jpg' is it? The problem is: is it practical?

you could hardcode it. but hardcoding sucks. i agree that the impracticality
of it is having to open a web browser as an image viewer. a quick look for a
way to get the filename being rendered yeilded nothing. but it seems like
something that should very easily be available. i'm having no luck searching
through the newsgroups or documentation for it though.

Well, that's what I meant when I said something about sticking thingies
in. If you're still interested you may want to try it again and see if
it does what you want now.
Here's a direct download link:

It may not be watertight, so please tell me if your system blows up in
your face. Especially if it leaves you covered with green goo...

Cheers!

I have tryed it and it really does show the file the way I want, but not
with the ease of use I would like.

I still have to edit the code every time I render a different scene :P


Thank you anyway :)


Best regards
