You mention the 'pattern' feature to create an image map from a pigment.
However, this is old information. They keyword and functionality has been
changed to something more logical.

Also, I'm not completely sure of the fate of the spline feature - maybe it
was not so bad after all that it wasn't included in the article!

The article was written before this change. There was little I could do. I
just sent it to Rick and he worked on putting it up. We might put up a
little update later.

I really didn't have much time to cover that anyway. :\
You like the rest of it though?

For those who are interested:
The 'pattern' feature, which was used in MegaPov for creating a bitmap
from a pigment has been changed in both name and functionality.
Firstly, the name is just plain silly: It has nothing to do with a pattern.
This will be changed to something more logical.
Secondly, instead of making a bitmap from a pigment, it will make it from
a function. As a function can be a pigment function, this means that it will
have the same functionality as in MegaPov (with just a slight syntax change).
However, it adds a lot of functionality to it because you can also use a
pattern function or a regular function (which will create b/w bitmaps, which
are just perfect to create a heightfield).
Thirdly, (IIRC) you can #declare this kind of bitmap "function" and use it
as a regular function. Which means that you can evaluate it, call it inside
other functions and so on.

Hi Tony, great job on that preview article. I haven't seen much of it yet,
very very slow going connection to there so I retired for now.

I always have trouble reaching .co.uk sites. Even with a T1 connection
at work the site loads slowly. I don't even bother trying it at home
with a dial-up connection.

And as I said, that just might be a good thing...
> You like the rest of it though?
Yes, it was very nice! :)
(But maybe you could have mentioned the new official logo, which is now
plastered all over the package? Well, it's quite apparent from some of the
screenshots anyway...)
BTW, could you send me your modified version of the mountain image (with the
slope pattern)?

Well, I thought it was common knowledge. It's been the official logo for
quite some time now...

On its way...

When you do the recap of the POV-Ray 3.5 status page, you say that it was
written and released on 1 September 2001, but I seem to remember it being
posted last year, also that date hasn't happened yet:-)
Nice review (though I havn't read it all yet), and thanks for the updated
feature list it was something I found particularly interesting.
How about a version that's all on one page so that we can d/l the whole
review at once, here in Europe we pay for our time online.

It is 99.951% ready for beta release. Just working on a few last minute
changes to the scene files and docs because of a last minute change to
the feature list. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick....

Oopsie. A little slip. I triple-checked though. Darn... :) Rick has been
notified.

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.

I doubt Rick will do that. Sorry. :(

Perhaps once the article's system is database then I could do that, but not
as it stands - its more work for me to combine it all into one doc than it
would be for you to save each page :)

Who has the rights of the article - Tony[B] or povray.co.uk ?
If it's ok I could combine the article into one and upload it temporarily to
my website space.
Of course I take that back if the beta comes out before I get a chance to do
it, which is not that unlikely...

Well... I wrote it, but Rick did do a lot of work to get it up and present
it, so in a way, what you see online belongs to both of us, but more to me,
of course.

Fine by me. Rick?

Wow, these examples are fascinating! I didn't hear about some of these
features before. Facets should look good on things like stairway
railings. I plan to use these for my pov museum.

I just have one complaint about the article:
It's a tease. All you've done is whet our appetites :)

Then my work here is done. ;)
Don't worry Ben. It'll be out very very soon. I can't go into specific
dates, but less than a month is an overstatement.
