But they can be bitmapped... And it'd be increadible usefull! Create simple
bitmaps to reuse... and procedurals are procedurals :)

It's not really true that, my friend. I've seen how it's done with other
packages... (but I don't really know HOW they do it...) textures CAN be
attached and fixed to blobs (although, I don't know if that it's possible
with the current implementation of POV... but there might be a patch for
that, right?)

And mathematics is a flexible language... there might not be a need to
rediscover America or the powder, you know...

Well... I disagree. I just try to make a difference, you know. Maybe I
didn't explain myself very well.


Please, wait till I post the whole idea!!!!!

Bye for now. And cool with you, Rune! Thank you for the constructive
criticism and for your opinion. You know, it helps a lot when something
