An example of applying textures to Structure Synth -> SunFlow output.
You will have to modify the Structure Synth export templates to use the desired texture, e.g.:
shader {
name "shader05"
type phong
texture "texture.png"
spec { "sRGB nonlinear" 1.0 1.0 1.0 } 50
samples 4
}
(Notice Phong shading requires a light to be present in the scene)
In order to apply the texture you also need to assign UV (texture) coordinates to the polygons making up the standard box. Modify the existing box definition to the following:
object {
shader none
transform col 0.001 0 0 0 0 0.001 0 0 0 0 0.001 0 0 0 0 1
type generic-mesh
name "Box"
points 8

1 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 1 1 1
0 0 0 1 1 1
0 0 1 1 1 0
}
For the shader above, the texture image is repeated on each face of the box. If you want finer control over the orientation and position of the textures, you have to modify the UV coords above.

Parking structure and urban scene near the Highline Park in New York City
When in New York City... visit the Highline Park, as we did on this 2010 summer visit. For those who may not know, the Highline Park is a novel New York location, a park high above the streets that occupies the right of way of an old elevated railway. It is widely regarded as one of the most innovative public spaces in this city, and it really is a remarkable place.
It is also a great place to do photography. There are plenty of people subjects there, and there is all of the other stuff that is worth shooting in New York, plus the elevated perspective provides a lot of views that are different from those seen from street level. We've all seen this urban parking structures, which stack cars up several deep in order to make more efficient use of limited space. But we don't often see them from above, where the metal framing suggests planes that aren't visible from below but which connect in interesting ways with the angled lines and planes of the other nearby buildings.
G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer and visual opportunist whose subjects include the Pacific coast, redwood forests, central California oak/grasslands, the Sierra Nevada, California deserts, urban landscapes, night photography, and more.

This stretch of the upper-level gallery may not be one of the most photogenic spots in Hagia Sophia, but it shows the state of stone and mosaic conservation in 1976. And, more important, it's a one-frame mini-encyclopedia of this great structure's most widely used rock types.
At left, forming the row of columns overlooking the naos, are shafts of medium-green Larissa Ophicalcite, Jurassic to Cretaceous in age and quarried in Thessaly. This breccia, a favorite of sixth-century Byzantine architects, contains large angular clasts of dark-green serpentinite—chemically altered rock from the Earth's mantle—and white marble haloed with the mint-green mineral serpentine.
Inboard and to right stand two stouter columns. Both their shafts and basket capitals were fashioned from the Constantinople region's own premium building material, Proconnesian Marble extracted from the island of Marmara in the Sea of the same name. This major quarrying operation was sited a short sail from the imperial capital.
The Proconnesian began as a Precambrian to Lower Paleozoic limestone protolith that was metamorphosed in the Permian period, at the time of the assembly of Pangaea. Here it's also present in the lower rows of cladding on the pier at center. These panels are fine examples of the veined variety of this famous stone selection. Its darker zones are composed of the mineral graphite derived from organic remains; the lighter are predominantly calcite.
Above the wide plastered zone is a band of bookmatched Iasian Marble. Taken in ancient and Early Byzantine times from Iasos in the Asia-Minor province of Caria, this highly folded marble has been known to Renaissance Italian stonemasons and everyone else since as "Cipollino Rosso." This is a reference to its layered appearance, supposedly reminiscent of a cut onion.
As my previous two photos in this set demonstrate, the Iasian is often a dramatic interplay of gray graphite, white calcite, and blood-red hematite. In this spot, however, its coloration looks rather blah and not at all sanguine. Is this a sign that it needed a good cleaning? Or is it just an artifact of my old slide's own fading?

Funny that I forgot to post pictures from Biosphere Two inside and out except the one before going through the park entrance (Fool on the Hill, shown in the second comment). Not having internet at home right now, I forget a lot of things while at the library or Starbucks or other free WiFi places. So, I am posting a bunch of them in Medium format in the first comment. These were all taken on the visit that Vicky (manywinters) and I made here on her visit to Tucson.
This image is a view looking toward the foothills through the structure of the Biosphere Two wall. The University of Arizona now owns and manages this tremendous research structure and tours can now go inside. One of the interesting parts of the tour was seeing the inside of one of the two gigantic dome shaped Lungs. These structures allowed the air pressure inside Biosphere Two to remain constant even when the air was heated or cooled by the sun or lack of it by allowing the air to move into the Lung and raise a heavy layer of concrete and expandable bellows when the air pressure inside the Biosphere rises due to heating of the air. The lungs move air back into the structure as the air cools. It operated as a closed system. The original experiment with the eight Biospherians was considered a "failed" experiment because air had to be added to the closed system. The reason for this - the engineers forgot to take into account the massive amount of oxygen absorbed by the concrete used in the structure and the lungs.
Back when I took this photo, I had no idea what was being built. I now know it was the new public library in Perth. It's quite an interesting structure.
This old building is very near to RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk. I wonder if it has some relation to the airfield during WWII? Seen in October 2024.
