Hello,

I'm using POV-ray to do some research and wanted free models of rocks and
stones in .DXF format or any other format that can be used in
POV-ray....also i have a program called Bryce in which i can generate 3D
models of rocks ..so another option for me is to generate 3D models of rock
using Bryce and convert them into POVray

any information regarding my concern will be appreciated

Rocks are easy to make in POV-Ray with the help of existing utilities, all
producing meshes:
- Steven Pigeon's PovRockGen.exe
- John Van Sickle's rock.inc
- Bob Hughes' makerock.inc, which is a variation on rock.inc

Yikes! Um, sorry Thomas. I don't believe I even made changes to that, aside
from perhaps renaming the include file. In fact, I find two of those here.
One called makerock.inc, the other mossrock.inc which doesn't write the mesh
to a new file. Probably attained for and used in a mossy rock rendering I
did years ago.

I also think I e-mailed a copy to someone a little while back but it has no
mention of my name within the text of the file. So, everyone can strike me
from their memories and hopefully John will forgive me my trespasses.
Heh-heh.

As a matter of fact, you e-mailed it to me! Looking at the files:
There are slight differences between the 'original' rock.inc and
makerock.inc. I took the liberty then to add the writing to mesh. I recorded
all this in the header of my copy of course.

And I'm going to do so, too, before I lose track! Thanks for helping to
clear that up Thomas.

P.S. to John VanSickle:

I went looking for that original Rock Include and only found it at a web
space not allowing the download. Maybe I've been banned already? :) Looked
for the last name VanSickle around there but didn't find proof-positive I
was at the right place, except that subdivision macro stuff is *very*
familiar.

http://enphilistor.users4.50megs.com/index.htm#POVRAY  then the .INC link.

Actual message I get:

Again, maybe it's just me... ;-)

Does anyone know who has the "latest" edition of this include? And what are the
changes?

And I am trying to find a page still having PovRock.exe, and also a true
Windows version of the older DOS command line program STL2POV.

My copies, amended as mentioned above, date back to 2004. Afaik, these 
are the latest copies in circulation. I attach them here. filerock.inc 
has not changed over the years, I believe.

Both makerock.inc and rock.inc say they "make rock meshes", and have a 
similar file size. What do the two files do? How are they different?

Also, you did not attach filerock.inc.
