We shall see how it goes. I have number of test scenes running at the 
moment. Still need some tweaking though.

I agree.

That would be nice indeed.


granite in Canada (it was the one which most intrigued me) and found 
that it is not a granite as such, but a monzonite (granitoid). Does not 
matter much for our purpose; the mineral composition is different (less 
than 5% quartz compared to granites).

Indeed. It is what I am going to do too in the coming days.

Thank you indeed. It became a fascinating project I confess. I certainly 
think it might generate spin-offs, either in the rock domain or in 
others maybe.
