    Thanks!

    I will publish the code this weekend, but it's really easy. Just old
& good trace() function and simple triangle geometry, placed with the
help of Reorient_Trans(). The texture is a bit tricky, but nothing too
complex really. Here is attached a test with the geometry updated to
hexagonal prisms, which look much more credible.
