I know, it's just the beta, but that's not the point here.
The new newsgroup povray.beta-test is for reporting bugs and such things.
But I think all the general happy comments should be posted elsewhere, such
as in this group.
So I'll just start here.
I've been a pre-beta tester for a while, but all the testing etc. meant I
didn't have much time to just play - but I have now!
While updating an old scene of mine to POV-Ray 3.5 syntax I founds out just
how nice the new image_pattern is! Before, I had to use a material_map with
a while loop generating the 256 textures used. The image used in the
material_map also had to be grayscale before it worked.
Now I use a very simple image_pattern instead. No while-loop, no need to
convert to grayscale, and no confusing code - just one single pigment with a
very simple color_map does the job! image_pattern is great! :)
Now, anybody else have some praises they want to share? :D

The documentation is great! I love its look! It also is very
complete and follows high quality standards. The screenshots
in the first section are very well done, I also like the fact
that every menu item, apart the most obvious, has been
documented. The inclusion of the VFAQ is a Good Thing, and the
IRTC CDs are advertised the way I like: Informatively, not
obstrusively.

The new logo and new icons also are a real improvement. The
magic touch that makes POV stand above the crowd, on a par
with major Windows applications.

I like the tutorial of the "Raytracer in SDL" ... nice Idea ... I didn't

From my pre-beta experience, some cool 3.5 stuff I've been using a lot but
didn't use in Megapov (so I won't mention radiosity, media, photons, trace()
etc.) :
- f_rounded_box : a little function hidden in the docs, meant to be used in
isosurfaces, much more flexible than the superellipsoid or than a CSG
equivalent. Because it can be deformed by noise or a pigment, it's great for
bricks and such.
- f_ridged_mf : aka ridged multifractal, great function for isosurface water or
mountains
- function {min(1,max(0,y))} is a non-repeating gradient y pigment. Extremely
useful because very easy to control and turbulence doesn't get in the way as it
does in a repeating pigment.
- pigment_pattern : makes it much more easier to create complex, nested textures
with full control of the turbulence
- light_groups : their implementation is much better and logical than in
Megapov. Lots of applications. For instance, it makes it possible to get
highlights on one particular object in a radiosity-only scene.
New 3.5 pics to follow soon, BTW.

One if the nicest new features which I personally really like is that
now you can create your own patterns from existing patterns and your own
functions. This is a feature which I have been desiring for long time.
Of course it was possible at some extent with MegaPov by using pigment
functions, but it's more straigthforward now as there are now directly
pattern functions. You can write, for example:
#declare MyPattern = function { pattern { wood turbulence 1 } }
Now you have created a completely new pattern which is made by applying
turbulence 1 to the original wood pattern.
Of course this is not all. You can combine patterns and modify them with
functions, eg:
#declare MyPattern2 = function { pattern { granite scale <2,1,.5> } }
#declare Combined =
function { MyPattern(x,y,z)*MyPattern2(x,y,z)*exp(-x^2-z^2) }
Now 'Combined' is a new pattern which has been created with the combination
of two other patterns and a mathematical function. Now you can use it as
any other pattern like:
pigment
{ function { Combined(x,y,z) }
color_map { ... }
}
and so on.
Another nice enhancement to function is that they can use any number of
parameters. So now you can write, for example:
#declare Inv = function(a) { 1/a }
and now you can call it just like: Inv(5). What makes this wonderful compared
to macros is that you can do this inside another function at render time.
By the way, when using functions as pattern, you can easily use all kinds of
"warps" defined by yourself. For example, if you want to apply a "planar warp"
to the 'Combined' pattern above, you would just use it like:
pigment
{ function { Combined(x,0,z) }
color_map { ... }
}
You just can imagine how versatile this is, as you can use it like
Combined(x^2, y*z, sqrt(z)) and so on.

It has been a long way from when I first suggested the idea of a POV-Ray
logo back in May 1999 till today, involving lots of organization of the logo
contests, lots of people participating in them, lots of design work being
done etc. I'm really glad it paid off! :)

Just a quick tip for Moray users: Change Moray.ini . In it there is a
setting which reads Histogram_Type=X ; NONE . Change this to read
Histogram_Type=
Otherwise Pov3.5 will generate an error.

Hmm, some great new wood textures could be made with what Warp was
describing.
Even more to explore, and I don't even understand all the stuff from
3.1g yet:-)

Oh, I dunno. A lot of them have been around in MegaPOV for a while now;
even if the syntax is different, the concepts are largely familiar. For
instance, I've been using patterns as functions (and vice-versa) for months.

I wish I could consider purchasing Rhino 2.0. :-/
It's a testament to POV-Rays greatness that someone who's considering
buying a $795 modelling package is using a free Raytracer.

Export the rhino object as obj and convert to pov using pose2pov.
That converts the object to uv-mapped mesh 2. I've been using
that whith Rhino for a few months and it works fine.

As for now, I think you're stuck (great CHM format!). Later,
I think more formats will be available, as was the case for
POV 3.1. Perhaps there will be a PDF or PostScript file?

It's incredible what you can do with the crackle pattern. The possibilities

Especially the PDF/PS versions (currently) take a bit of manual work. The
final documentation will be available in more formats (maybe not with the
initial final release, but a few days later).

Now this does ring bell: I once asked in Rhino NG about support for
mesh2 type in POV-Ray output and answer was: not until mesh2 will be in
official version of POV-Ray. Now that beta is out, someone could contact
Rhino team (Rhino ng is quite appropriate place, I guess). I haven't
followed Rhino development and don't know, how far is v. 2.0 release
date, so if this is not on next week, then perhaps they could put in
support for mesh2.

The command line box is possibly the greatest single enhancement to the
POV editor IMO.
Now all I need is for a 3.5 compliant Moray to be released <grin>
Bye for now,

Use this color map and it will look even better:
color_map{[0 rgb 1][.1 rgb z][.25 rgb 0]}

I have to reiterate a previous posting praising the documentation. The
compiled help version is sooooooo much easier to navigate, and I _really_
appreciate the include file reference! I think this version will save a lot
of RTFM questions on the newsgroups.

Me too! Of course (sod's law) new features generate their own feature-requests.
The colours.inc reference has samples of the colours (great!) - how about the
same for stones, glass, metals, etc?

I think it's the opposite: Now that the documentation has more stuff,
there will be more questions to which the answer will be "RTFM" and thus the
number of "RTFM" question will increase. :)

That would be way too big to include in the compiled documentation, but the
portfolio is probably just what you're looking for. Look in

It's nice to be able to give people a number aswell if possible, I seem to
remember the 3.1 built in docs didn't have any numbering.

Would be even nicer if the Contents of the help included the numbers. But
then again, typing the number in the index search is even better... ;)

True, but to be fair, a raytracing algorithm is fairly simple compared
to some of the other things involved in computer graphics.
