My latest streak involves making macros that take a set of building blocks
and make structures out of them. I'm sure many here have gotten that far.

This one I did a heavy brownish fog to suggest thick pollution. Also, the
textures are randomized from the macro as well, they're supposed to be all
julias/mandels, but only a few of them show up with the design, which is
probably just as well. And...it means nothing at all! Just playing around -
I've been fascinated with making more and more complex POVray programs
which will generate a different picture at the changing of the single
random seed number.

Well it does mean something to me... ever read Frank Herbert's Dune? This
absolutely is a view from the Harkonnen Keep over Harko City on Giedi
Prime... well done.

So... they did build nicely, those Harkonnens! not the late Baron, though...

Nice scene, by the way! Smart (little) macro...

Oh, this is a fine picture!

I like to do this. Sometimes it even looks good, lol  ;)

Yummm, randomness: one of the many things I like about the
Povray scripting language.

Sometimes this technique will spew out an unexpected permutation that
will in turn give me a fresh idea.
