No disappointment here - I'm glad you were able to find the file. I found
another image map for that fish. You may need to tweak the coordinates.
....and your English is great! Probably better than mine...flunked 2 English
classes in college.

Love kirill-chyolushkin - had not seen his work. Thanks for sharing!

Also,
Has POV implemented a way to use 'Normal Maps' for bumps using an image map? I
didn't he an example in the help files.

Oooo, thanks a lot. Texturing in POV is tricky for me, having such good
image map I can improve details now.

That's all I was able to find, while doing bumping:

I can't recall an example, and I haven't tried it, but -
Try using an image_map as the pattern for:

Thanks, below are the definitions. I plot these out of CAD and convert using a
