On-Line POV-Ray Texture Generator Pigment Solid |
Writing TexGenPOV I pursued two goals. I was not quite satisfied by similar applications available on Linux, and I made my own which behaves the way I like: it outputs a clean POV code that can be easily changed by hand in a text editor and allows a quick preview of the texture being created. The other goal was to organize a database where people can submit their textures to share with friends and the whole world. Example. It's fun to try something created by someone else. That's why TexGenPOV is written in PHP with a web interface.
Due to Internet limitations TexGenPOV doesn't support transparency and other slow features like interior. However, even without them TexGenPOV is quite an advanced program, superior in some ways to other POV texture editors.
TexGenPOV consists of five parts:
Users' submissions to our database:
Internet Explorer tends to forget everything and therefore makes TexGenPOV almost unusable.
Firefox and other gecko browsers, on the contrary remember everything almost too well, which can sometimes be annoying. Luckily, there is a remedy, which is Ctrl-Shift-R.
Opera works the best of all, so if you want to play with TexGenPOV, I recommend that you use Opera.
If you find any bugs, be bold to contact me.
