Thank you!
The sail boat is a detailed model, not made by me, but coming from the
Taschen 3D Objects collection. I like it too.

Yes, you are right. This scene was, at the same time, a way for me to learn
to use Daz|Studio, and I just used one of the standard stances provided as a
basis for further work. In itself, I think the stance is correct, but it
does not work in all situation. The case of the eavesdropper is indeed
flagrant, and I shall have to do something about it.

Thank you! In time I shall show more of the temple. It is a gigantic
structure, very well suited for little scenes like this one.

Thank you!
I struggled a long time before coming up with something useful. The basis is
a simplebrick pattern, but I included it in a macro to be able to scale the
elements according to needs. This is the code:
//---- start of code ----
#macro LimeBricks()
#ifndef (BrickSize) #declare BrickSize = <1.6, 0.6, 1.6>; #end
#ifndef (MortarSize) #declare MortarSize = 0.02; #end
texture {
brick
texture { // Mortar
pigment {
color rgb <0.90005, 0.89995, 0.89995>
}
normal {
bozo , 0.5
bump_size -2.0
scale 0.1
}
}
texture { // Limestones
pigment {
agate
agate_turb 1.0
pigment_map {
[0.0 color rgb <0.95, 0.95, 0.95>]
[0.4 color rgb <0.91, 0.91, 0.91>]
[0.8 color rgb <0.94, 0.94, 0.94>]
[1.0 color rgb <0.91, 0.91, 0.91>]
}
scale <30.0, 30.0, 30.0>/10
rotate <-10.0, -15.0, 0.0>
}
normal {
agate , 0.2
agate_turb 1.0
scale <30.0, 30.0, 30.0>/10
rotate <-10.0, -15.0, 0.0>
}
finish {
ambient 0.05
diffuse 0.7
}
scale 0.05
rotate 90.0 * x
}
// BrickAndMortar
rotate -90.0 * x
translate <10, 10, 0>
brick_size BrickSize
mortar MortarSize
scale <1,1,-1>
rotate <90,0,0>
}
#undef BrickSize
#undef MortarSize
#end //of LimeBricks macro
//this is the default texture used in the wall:
#declare TdG_LimestoneBricks = LimeBricks()
//this is the texture for the flagstones on the ground:
#declare BrickSize = <0.1, 1, 0.1>;
#declare MortarSize = 0.003;
#declare TdG_LimestoneFlagstones = LimeBricks()
//this is the texture for the columns:
#declare BrickSize = <100, 10, 100>;
#declare MortarSize = 0.075;
#declare TdG_LimestoneColumns = LimeBricks()
//---- end of code ----

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.

They would fit into a Hollywood cast :-)
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...
