Hi,
I just brought Texture Library version 4.0 online. If you know version
3.0 on texlib.povray.org you may be interested in the new one as well -
http://www.rene-schwietzke.de/povray/texlib/
Version 4.0 features:
- a complete new design, lean and fast
- every texture is shown in 8 demo scenes
- textures are grouped by categories and colors
- textures can be browsed by name or category
- textures can be listed by name, include file, color, category, author
The current version features contains only textures from textures.inc
but the library will be enhanced step by step with more textures (just
give my computer some time to render the demo scenes).
Any comment is appreciated. Feel free to contact me.
Enjoy Texlib 4.0,
Rene
P.S. As soon as Texlib 4.0 will have reached a mature state, it will be
mirrored on texlib.povray.org.

Thank you. Do you miss anything? Texture information, and certain kind
of demo scene, or ways to search for a texture?

It works for me. Others may have suggestions for improvement. It loads
fast (I'm on cable modem) and the layout is very intuitive, IMO. It also
looks nice!

Looks like a lot of work - a few remarks:
- it is quite unusable in Netscape 4.x although i can't find a good reason
why it has to be.
- an option for downloading the whole library would be great.
- the lot of different sample renders look quite nice but some are a bit
unnecessary (for example the 2d rotation/scaling tests). The preview
should IMO contain a sphere object so you can see at the first glance what
kind of finish and normal it has (highlights, variable reflection, ...)
The 'shapes' render contains various shapes but lacks a rough surface
(heightfield or isosurface for example).
- the water texture should get an interior with ior to look realistic.
- maybe it would be a good idea to add a 'purpose specific render' - a sky
sphere for sky textures, a plane with a sky for water textures, ...

Hi Chris,
thank you for the comments, see me answers below:

It is HTML 4.01 Strict and CSS 1.0/2.0. It was my intention to produce clean
and lean HTML code, there are enough good browsers for all platforms, so I
do not want to support the old Netscape stuff anymore. Mozilla 1.2, Netscape
6 and 7, IE 5,5.5,6.0 are fine.

Do you mean an offline version?

Why is the 2d scaling and rotation not necessary? Do you know better scenes
instead?

The previews are quite small images and therefore the space might not be
enough to show this already in the preview.
I will give it a try, maybe I find a scene. It takes time to re-render the
library, so please be patient. I am going to post a demo image in the
binaries.images group.

On its way...thanks.

I plan an additional scene depending on special characteristics and
categories,such as Water, Sky, Glass. A demo is going to be posted in the
p.b.images group soon.
Thank you and stay tuned, the library will grow and change a lot,
Rene

Well, it is of course up to you how to design the page but i meant i did
not recognize any elements in your page that seem impossible to be created
in a way not messing up the page in NS 4.x. Of ocurse not everything will
be visible in NS 4.x as in newer browsers but it could be usable.

Yes.

I meant totally dripping it. The first line of 3D spheres in those
pictures already gives all information - the other two lines are quite
redundant.

I think with the size of preview it would be just fine.

What about HtmlHelp produced from time to time?
btw: at the "Contribution" section I can't find specification of the targeted
POV-Ray. Do you accept only 3.5 ? 3.1 ? MegaPOV 0.7 ? 1.0 ?
