Fortunately, I'm not a programmer, I'm only trying to make computers do 
what I want.

Unfortunately, sometimes it requires programming.

Well, it seems that currently people start to prefer AI, but I'm an old 
Soviet man, so my first question always is "and who is officially 
responsible for this?" Since AI does not have a butt I can kick, it 
can't be held responsible for anything, therefore I don't trust it.

Well, old people like me may remember Photoshop plugins like Xaos Tools 
or MS Impressionist, which were mapping 2D bitmap "brushstrokes" over 
image, varying brush size and direction to simulate painting. Surely, my 
old idea, resulted in POV-Ray Mosaic, was quite obvious: why don't we 
map 3D objects?

Unfortunately, I was having problems even with first version - how do I 
make all this controllable in some way humans can understand? And, since 
new version is about adding more control, it's giving me more problems 
with my memory, "what is this and why I did this?"
