Kevin,
This is really getting good! It's especially nice for buildings which have
been furnished.
A few suggestions:
Ability to look NW,NE,SW,SE, or even better input degrees of rotation, with 0
being north.
Ability to move by user-adjustable amount. It's irritating when it takes 5
moves just to get inside the building.
Some way of giving model authors credit on the page.
Increase the value of "amb" in the pov file to brighten the models.
I imagine you already have some of this stuff in the works. Great start!
Another possible future enhancement would be the ability to accept any .dat
file as input, on the fly. It would be pretty awesome if someone could click
on a Datsville image map and have that .dat file loaded into Dat Explorer for
a virtual tour.
Do you have any idea what POV-Ray is actually doing when it is "parsing"? It
occured to me that if parsing is model- rather than view-dependent,
theoretically parsing could be done just once, which would greatly reduce
render time. This is probably a question for the POV-Ray newsgroups.

| (...) This is possible, but you would loose most of the benifit of "caching" the previously rendered images, since there would be so much freedom. I'll start with adding larger jump options for the movements. By keeping those factors of 50 it won't (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)
