Just updated my website...
http://www.oyonale.com/oy_en.htm
Link to the "new images and resources" page
http://www.oyonale.com/new_en.htm
There are not that many new images, sorry... Between learning new software
and other things, I haven't done much POV-Ray lately. Also, with almost 150
pages, I'm closing down the Book of Beginnings. The first images were
uploaded on the internet in 1995, so it's about time I move on and try new
things in CG.
My current goal POV-Ray-wise is to publish the models created for the
scenes, so there are some big downloads here:
- sci-fi models (already made available here)
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources14.htm
- plants and tree models :
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources15.htm
- Mini Cooper and building models
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources16.htm
There's also a separate page for photographic textures
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/oyonale/.
Note that the scripts, models and textures are now under a clearer (I hope)
Creative Commons Attribution License, that basically says that you are free
to use and distribute this material, and that you can use it commercially or
not, provided that the author is credited and the license transfered in case
of redistribution.
More goodies to come, but I need to create proper demo scenes before!

Looks great, are the technical models in

http://www.oyonale.com/ldc/english/asymmetry.htm

self-made or did you use other sources?

I downloaded the 'Mini Cooper and building' and there are two image 
files missing in the package as it seems.  I could not resist doing a 
quick test with HDRI (no light sources):

Low quality radiosity, lots of artefacts but not bad for 20 minutes 
render time i think...

It's a big mixture.
http://www.oyonale.com/ldc/english/imagelist.htm#asymmetry
The elephant spiky armour is the only genuine material I did. The other
stuff comes from 3D Cafe and Viewpoint, and from a Japanese site that does
incredible military models in Lightwave... and I lost the URL and cannot
find the site anymore. The meshes of the different models were mixed in
Rhino in some sort of 3D collage, with some new meshes to glue them
together.

Fixed, thanks. For those who don't want to download the package again, here
they are:
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/downloads/car_paint2.jpg (300 kb)
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/downloads/bd_door2d_bump.jpg (600k)

HDRI support for read and write in the new Megapov is just yummy :)

I tend to believe it's a web-only thing. It'd feel constrained on a CD. I'm
meeting with some art gallery folks soon about it, so I'll see what they
say. In any case, as I'm forever unhappy with the texts, I'll keep touching
them up here and there. I'm closing it in the sense that lately the updates
felt like a duty, but I don't rule out adding images to it. Basically I'd
like to explore things, like you do with the African masks, and the BoB
isn't a good playground for this.

They were a brilliant idea.  The sauce for the meal.  And quite 
effective I thought.

Never a good thing.  So basically, adding the texts you mean is the 
burden.  Quite understandable.

   but I don't rule out adding images to it. Basically I'd

You're discovering new ways to make sauce.

   Perhaps few images, but very good ones indeed.

   That's awesome... the work you put preparing all the demos and 
objects is awesome... just the same you put into the images! I can't 
believe it...

> - Mini Cooper and building models

   As Christoph, I haven't resisted to play with the Mini, incorporating 
it on my current scene, which casually was going to be a garage.

   The model is not only very detailed, but also very well textured, as 
it integrated perfectly into the actual scene lighting without any tweaking:

   Thanks again for letting us to play and learn with your work!

Breathtaking, as usual.  So much for a productive day at work.  :-)

Something began to occur to me as I worked on my old schoolhouse project
(which is still unfinished): Isn't it a shame to put hours and hours of work
into something that only produces one scene?  Now I see that you've
apparently had similar thoughts.  Not a lot of different scenes, perhaps,
but lots of variations, which makes up for it in my opinion.  Not to get too
deep (thinking), but that's one of the strengths, if not the "beauty", of
working with this media.

I really like "Season of the Friendly Snails".

Good luck in the future.  I already can't wait until 2005.  ;-)

  Btw, would it be possible to get that movie in a non-proprietary/closed
format viewable in most platforms?

  I always wonder why people are so eager to use proprietary closed
formats which require a certain specific player to watch (which is
usually available for 1-2 OSs) when there are better alternatives.
  I would understand this if the compression/quality ratio would be
superb in these formats, but it's actually the exact opposite.

I don't think there is a standard 3d panorama format available, and if any
QuickTime is the most cross-platform of them all ... of course, without
being able to see it, you cannot know there is a 3d panorama inside!

Gilles has a link to a traditional 2d image from his 2004 updates page (at
the bottom, second from the left iirc).  The scene file is also there, so
you can render it yourself.  Of course, the scene file is in a proprietary
format as well.  I think it is this odd proprietary POV-Ray format or
something like that ;-)

It's not a movie, but as indicated on the page a QTVR 360° panorama, and to
my knowledge only Apple's Quicktime format supports the concept (there's no
MPEG version).
The alternate solution is to use a JPEG with a Java applet such as PTViewer,
but because it's an applet it needs to be in its separate HTML page (I can't
link to the file directly). Also, the viewing quality is inferior to that of
QT, which is much smoother and loads progressively.
So basically I got lazy (and also concerned with the additional 1 Mb space
taken by the JPEG). I've done it for all the "artistic" panoramas (see
http://www.oyonale.com/ldc/english/mainstreet_east_jv.htm)  but gave only
the QT for the demos and the "Infinite Spire" story.
In any case, here it is.
http://www.oyonale.com/histoire/images/plants_demo.htm (I'll be adding some
other demo thingies in the next days anyway).

Yes, you're right. Now I remember that there's indeed a little jungle of
vendors of panorama solutions. I investigated them when I was looking for a
good panorama format, but all of them seemed even more proprietary than
Apple, and the tools aren't free and the viewers tend to come with strings
attached etc. Not to mention the dead formats...

Super Gilles !  Great pic.  The sci-fi models reminds me of the "third
elements" from Besson.

Note that the following line :
#declare P_Metal03=pigment{image_map{jpeg "rust_02" interpolate 2}}
should be :
#declare P_Metal03=pigment{image_map{jpeg "rust_03" interpolate 2}}

Keep it up !!
