Hi Thomas,
Very good news.

It is a scaling along the z-axis (in OpenGL and Moray, which happens to be
the y-axis in POV-Ray) this scaling is done before the struts and spheres
are created (it has no particular effect on the "faces").
I enclosed an image of a Dome with no scaling (on the left), with pov-ray
z-scaling (in the middle) and with the Dome z-scaling (on the right)

I choose materials rather than textures because when you want to use a
texture, you just have to write :
#declare Mat1 = {texture {myFavoriteTexture}}
And you have turn your favorite texture into a material.

If you're not the only one to be interested in I will (if you're the only
one, it will take a little bit more of time ;-)).

Philippe

OK. Understood.

I understand that; however, one has to invoke an .inc file I suppose, or
should the material just be sitting in the Domenator directory?

Fair enough.

Hi Thomas,
Don't worry about any delay, I saw you are working on Gancaloon ;-))
About the material, the answer is : they must be defined in an INC file.
I thought of some sort of a texture list file, but I'm not sure it would be
really useful. If you have any new feature request on this topic or any
other one : just tell.
Best regards
Philippe

How do you know?!;-)

An INC file is perfect. Something you could add however is a way to
include the INC file in the dome.inc file. For instance in the Files
Menu, have a box where the name of the INC file can be given, and have
that file included in the dome.inc after the comments list like this:
....
// fNoiseProgressiveR = 0.000000
// fNoiseProgressiveZ = 0.000000
#include "MyTextures.inc"
// MaxI = 121 ; MaxJ = 39
#declare MyDome = union {
sphere { < 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000 >, 0.030000 }
cone { < 0.041325, 0.999146, 0.000000 >, 0.030000, < 0.000000, 1.000000,
0.000000 >, 0.030000 }
....

Very good Idea, I will think of it.
It would also authorize Domenator to extract the names of the
materials/textures in that inc file and to propose them in list-boxes ...
To be continued ;-))

I have been looking into the possibilities of exporting the dome
triangles, using Poseray. This works well and gives the possibility to
export then to an OBJ file, which I can load into Silo2.
Something that I noticed then is that the triangle pairs forming the
quads have opposing normal orientation, caused - I suppose - by the way
the triangles are built. This poses a problem for further working on the
object.
Is is possible to build the dome with a uniform orientation of all the
triangle normals? That would help a lot.
Thanks!
Thomas

It would not be too difficult. As I just wrote a little mesh-building
macro, I see that all triangle vertexes should wind clockwise in order
to get all the normals consistently pointing up/out of the mesh. I
suppose the same applies to smoothed triangles.

Hello Thomas,
Sorry for the delay, but no problem, I will do that (it's a mistake anyway)
