Hi Allen,

By pure coincidence (not that big a coincidence as Halloween is just round 
the corner) I uploaded a pumpkin to the new object collection at 
http://lib.povray.org just last night. It's CSG and each segment position is 
randomised a little, but you could easily randomise it more. To get a less 
regular shape you could also replace the definition of Pumpkin_Segment, 
which is currently a squashed sphere, with a similar but less regular shape 
(e.g. Blobs with a degree of randomisation). If you need help on that I'd be 
happy to oblige.

If it's not for Halloween (making it quite a coincidence) and you want a 
whole pumpkin, rather than one with cut-outs for eyes, nose and mouth, you 
can simply delete the holes from the CSG.

Regards,
Chris B.
