It is very cumbersome and annoying to try out textures directly in the text file
with Povray.
You set something in the texure, render the image, change bump-values or colours
or something again, render by cmd-line, still don't look good, back into the
text file...
That's why I thought about a web interface that offers select boxes and sliders
for the different settings, re-renders at command, and displays the image.
I think that would be much faster and more relaxed.
If something similar already exists, just let me know the website.

No, the file is OK, you can check this yourself here:
https://threejs.org/editor/
The project in beta state now, so some issues are possible,
will fix it soon. Many thanks for testing and bug reports -
I am really need them.

Interesting, I guess yes, will try it little bit later.
Right now I am working on POV-Ray materials support.

Good idea, saved it to my TODO list.
Wishing well.

Yes, I know, but I did not see any online GUI anywhere.
I am thinking about something like this, but implementation could be
tricky. As far as I know, Blender supports POV-Ray and has a GUI, but I
don't know details, preferring C4D.

Btw, last year I did this experimental project for server-side
rendering: https://povlab.yesbird.online/
Maybe it was the first step toward what you are dreaming about ?

Yes, "something" like that.
But instead the code-block many sliders and checkboxes and select-boxes.
And only one or two object (box and sphere) to show the texture.
And a download-button to get the texture.
This treejs looks indeed very promising, maybe I'll give it a try for my own
website.
Your all2mesh-tool:
If you could extract the textures also, I would bring the Mars-Rover or
Ingenuity to life.
The tool is nice, maybe I can use it sometimes, especially for some NASA-Stuff.

Don't you mixing a texture and material ?

http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/331/
In any case implementation will not be difficult - I guess, you can try
it yourself. You will only need to install node.js and master
javascript, also PHP alittle.

Yes, it's really cool. Almost standard-de-facto for WegGL/WebGPU works
now.

Now it's "POV-Ray studio" :).

Maybe later, after finishing two active projects.

Just for kicks, I searched Thingiverse for Povray . . .

Chess set I designed in 2001, originally in PovRay.

Chainmaker is rather interesting ...
Btw, Bill, I need your advice. I am working on online viewer of math
objects (screenshot attached):
https://mathview.yesbird.online/
and now it has export only to OBJ.
Is it worth adding a POV exporter to it, taking in account that POV-Ray
already has a powerful library for generating math surfaces ?
Remembering quote by Steve Jobs: "Deciding what not to do is as
important as deciding what to do" ? :)
