[Didier Bur]

Hi,
The release 3.4. of su2pov is available for download at my site: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/plugin_su2pov.php

Version 3.4. changes:
- Simplified interface of su2pov settings: outdoor/indoor radio buttons, quality slider added, less defaults finishes, brightness slider added, tweaked the radiosity settings to make the rendering slightly faster,
- FaceMe components: better conversion to make alpha channel of images invisible,
- Lights: 6 colors of artificial lights added, cast shadows checkbox added,
- Image settings: more images sizes, 16:9 ratio added, bugs in radio buttons fixed,
- Materials: custom finish removed, 24 presets added, 36 surfaces aspects presets added,
- Save as dialog added,
- SkyBox (panoramic background image) added.

Have fun,

Wow, Povray is still alive? I think I tried it some 20 years ago... getting old.

Yes POV is getting old, and you, and me... but it is still alive with regular updates. It's pretty fast too.

for somehow i just don't believe that povray could really do something like this http://hof.povray.org/
i think we should take a look at it again

Ditto for the 20 years ago sentiment. I downloaded it a few months ago to try it again, but I still wind up with that "early 90s" look to a render - pretty cheesy. I guess I don't know how to make it work right yet.
