That scene I submitted did generate a lot of
geometry that was ultimately occluded by nearer geometry.
Here is another scene,
http://www.daylongraphics.com/products/leveller/render/testimg_001.jpg

which took 67 seconds.

When rendering, after a few seconds, the image looks like this:

Sometimes it's nice to scanline to see the object draw
that way, instead of having the render window draw
line by line (or mosaic into smaller and smaller squares).

Has anyone implemented displacment shading in POV-Ray
using that algorithm? If not, I'd volunteer.
