Instead of flooding this group with large tiled images, I posted a few
samples to my web space:

http://webpages.charter.net/glenweb/pov/

These are a few samples of triangular, square, and hexagonal tiling
patterns. 

It's easier to transfer this idea through a web page than a newsgroup,
because I can simply use the tiles as web page backgrounds. If I post
here, I have to send a larger image that has already been filled with
tiles.

Not Pov-related, but this reminds me of something I did in flash a while
ago: http://www.chris-j.co.uk/Kalidascope.html

This shows what an animated version might look like: unfortunately its gets
rather jerky if the tesselation gets too large in Flash.

That's similar, but you are showing only one hexagon in this example.
I'm showing parts of some additional surrounding tiled hexagons to
make the image tileable with normal rectangular image tiles, but yes,
the basic idea is very similar.

I also wanted to mention that I clicked on the word "enter" on your
site, but nothing happened. I'm using Mozilla 1.4 as my browser. Is
the word "enter" really a link, or is my browser not compatible with
your script?

Yeah, the "enter" text doesn't work... this was a test for an intro page for
my website, but it was too large to use for that, so the enter button was
never linked up to anything.

Beautiful work. Could you please explain what you mean by hexagonal and
triangular patterns? They both look quite similar to me. I'd also like to
see the original images or pigments you used for the effect to be able to
shamelessly steal your idea and create similar images. :) One more note: I
believe that scaling, translating, rotating or phasing the original
patterns/images would create interesting animations without too much
modification to your code.

Here's an animated one I came up with this morning. :)

That looks really cool. 

I need to mention that I haven't been checking this news group too
often in the last few weeks. I intend to post my POV source for tile
generation in the future, but it will be a little while before I have
the time to clean up the source and make it more user-friendly. When
it's finished, I'll put it on this news server.

later,
Glen
