  I think that the main idea of these type of signatures is obfuscation. That
is, you don't see what kind of image the code will generate and when you try
it you get a surprise. Also an important thing about an obfuscated signature
is that you can't easily see _how_ does it do what it does.
  (Even when you can somehow see from the signature that it creates certain
types of objects and where are the, for examples, coordinates coded, you still
don't easily see what kind of image it will exactly produce and how the
coordinates are decoded.)

  Another negative thing is that your signature requires a system-specific
font file only available to certain users, which contradicts the portable
nature of povray.

  Without these things it's very easy to make even a one-liner. But that
doesn't have any challenge at all.
