In a word, innovative, Alex. Great example of POV-Ray's isosurface and
function features.

Yes, why not? Even if they are more pencils.  :-)   People here only seem to
get tired of a lot (meaning several of the same thing with minor changes) of
repetition and this hasn't gotten near that yet. Not suggesting to put half
dozen or more images per posting, all of different colors for the pencils,
of course. :-D

Question: Are these images taken from screenshots of alpha transparency
renders for usage as some kind of graphics project? Or did you actually
place a grey and white checker plane as background? I was thinking the
circling pencils could be a fine graphic before I realized they might have
transparent backgrounds. I was more interested in how the pencils were made,
not the checkers.
