If you're simply saying that it is obviously computer generated, who cares?

So ignore the picture and think of the possibilities. I do think the image
is exciting precisely because the way it's rendered, it looks like some sort
of crystal that has been crushed, cracked or has impurities in it. I don't
know of an easy way to do that to an arbitrary object in povray. Do you? If
so, i'd like to see an example.
