Yes, I agree.

Yes, the artifacts are annoying. I shall have to work on that seriously. The 
ship's hull texture is still not really good. I have been struggling with it 
for a while now, not getting the uv-mapping right. Still some work to do on 
it.

Hmm. I have already added some objects that break the uniformity. I may 
consider changing the color of the floor too...

I forgot to mention: the texture was originally made in Moray, that is why 
you will find:   scale <1,1,-1>  rotate <90,0,0> somewhere for the use in a 
POV-Ray scene.

BTW have you considered using AA? (Ducks and runs :-)

LOL. I have considered a sharp knife in fact :-)
Interestingly, Victoria3 can be morphed from anorexia to obesitas, but 
Michael3 can't. Now, what does that suggest???

Victoria is educated and knows Latin?
Both work for the P*rn industry?
Oh! I give up. :-}

P.S. I’m glad you got Moray working.

I don't know either, but it is an interesting thought as it tells a lot 
about the builders I guess.... :-)

Yep! me too. I always feel very unconfortable when I have to make those 
changes to the system. However, it is unavoidable.

Yes indeed, and a great tool too.
What I don't like is the possibility that meddling in some parts may have 
unexpected consequences elsewhere. Indeed, this is much less likely nowadays 
than in the past, but still...
