Hi Tor.

Let my tell you that in this moment, I'm thinking about a big ice cream.
:-)
Regards. Alberto.

I'm sorry to disrupt the thoughts of pleasant ice cream, but it reminds more
of mold on two berries...

	trace()? 

	I guess that would be very useful to put icing on cakes and
such...

With some texture changes it could be encrustations of coral and other 
sea life on a part of a sunken ship.
Or maybe frozen oxygen between the poles of a magnet.
Or a fungus of some sort attacking a plant.

No ... ehh .... what is trace() ?
Is it a function in one of the new patches ?

I'm only using plain POV v3.1.

A macro I made calculates where the surface of a blob is.
(The red one in this image.) I used information from this macro
to place the spheres in second blob (the white one).

The removing of the "ice" in some areas is done by inserting some
spheres with negative strength randomly around on the surface.

Thank you all for commenting.

I now see that this gives you people associations towards snow,
ice and ice cream.

(Except for Kettch who is thinking about something that must be
Siamese berries !)

Btw.: Here on the west coast of Norway it hasn't been much ice-
cream weather yet this summer =(

Hmmm... Interesting ideas !   Thank you.

Any suggestion for coral like textures ?

Yes, you'll only need some hair and a Gillete razor <grin>

So you are thinking about shaving foam. - I like that idea.

Funny I didn't see that myself:  "Once upon a time" I was
fascinated about taking macro pictures of  different shaving
foam "shapes".

Amongst the many things on my to-do list is modelling an
old Gillette razor with one of these thin double edged razor
blades. This foam could come in handy for such a scene.

Figured there had to be negative strength blob at work here.  It's great,
except your macro might very well become extinct because of 'trace()',
although only in that the check for blob surface would no longer be
manually(?) done.
MegaPov ( http://www.nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm ) is what has the trace
function, useable for locating surfaces and their normals.
