I've just uploaded new version of extended Insert Menu Bonus Pack for POV-Ray
3.5 beta 10. Previous version was on povray.beta-test.binaries for begining but
current version is much bigger and I don't want waste space of this news server.
Any comments, suggestions ? If there are some typos or syntax/grammar faults
then please inform me somehow. Please check also if 'how to install' section is
clear.

Thank you ABX!
That is a very good addition to the standard POV 3.5 package.

Looks good, making all those pictures must have been quite a lot of work,
and there are still a lot that could use illustration...

I thought about making a HTML version like from the official one, but for
those parts only containing long lists of simple entries it would not be
very useful in the current form, apart from that my generator program does
not handle it correctly right now.

Thank You.

It could be great.

Yes, I agree. It is useful only when sometimes you rapidly want nice scene and
need fast preview of ready textures. Long loading of large HTML and jumping
around it is not very good solution then.

Hmm, looks very interesting, but could you provide just the sources and let
people render the images on their own?

I will do it probably for final version. What was reason for ask ? Your
bandwith? Wrong bitmap? Interesting bitmap?

Bandwidth.  While I ~can~ download multimegabyte files, since I only have
one phone line (and a 56k modem), I try to avoid too much time online.  Four
megabytes isn't really too bad, but I can't imagine the sources taking up
more than 100k compressed.

Oh, and the option to render at larger / smaller resolutions is always fun
:)
