When I whine about how boring and pointless "photorealism" is, I don't mean stuff
like this. This REALLY DOES look like a photo, and is quite artistic to boot!

I agree. I actually came to the same conclusion, but I don't think I'll do
another render for this. Tweaking contrast in a paint program is not cheating in
my book ;)

Isosurface, pretty simple function & texture. See p.b.s-f

Couldn't agree with you more, Tony :)
But I was forced to get a life anyway this last week, so I decided to let the
render run its course.

Perhaps, but in my case adding more objects often leads to aesthetically
displeasing clutter. So I prefer to keep my scenes minimalistic.

There was. See the hole in the apple? But he's gone now... <g>

Thanks.
I'll post the source to povray.binaries.scene-files. Note that it requires
MegaPOV to render.

very true :-)
There seem to be some parts of the ground isosurface floating seperated in space
(visible near the sculpture) not very important in this case (no shadows), but
very difficult to avoid.
