Phew... Michael! That is no easy matter to model! But you seem to be on 
the right track already. Well done so far.

I do not understand your comment about the sharp edges using density 
maps. In my experience they work pretty much like colour or texture 
maps. May it be a question of scaling which troubles you? That is 
something where density maps do differ I understand. Maybe a little 
piece of code can clarify the matter. I am currently putting order in my 
collection of media tests, so maybe I can help.

No kidding? 3 (three) weeks render time?! Wow!
