Only the last of those 4 addresses worked for me.  No wonder I couldn't
locate anything, and I had misspelled Steven Pigeons' name (sorry Steve).
Anyhow, not sure any of this goes with what Tor has done since the rocks all
seem to be triangle mesh instead of plane intersections.

I've now posted some source code that provides you with the coordinates
for the corners. (Watch the output in the debug window.)

See my recent post "Source code for bevelled box" to povray.text.scene-files:

After contacting John the Subdivision Surface Suite is now back online
at - http://users4.50megs.com/enphilistor/sss.htm

Steven's page is still valid as is Mack Stocks page. The only one
that appears to be gone is "Rocks" at -

http://www.rahul.net/endl/mallan/html/rocks.htm

for which there appears to be no replacement URL for.

Three out of four ain't bad :)

Oh my dear friend, I am sorry. I wanted triangles.  Let me figure it out myself.  I
am a newbie at discovering the benefits of triangles.    If I were to use the
intersection of a dozen or more planes, I might as well have used a superellipsoid.

Let me first state that I've read the rest of this thread (as of this
date) and know my answer is not what you're looking for.

This description (above) leads me to describing how I figure out the
appropriate method for creating a shape.  If I were creating a cube
that I wanted to look like it had the corners knocked off with a
grinder, I tend to create the cube, then use a CSG difference to
remove the parts the grinder took away.  In other words, I try to
create the effect of the manufacturing process.

<inside_voice> Pinot Gris has an odd effect on my thought
processes...</inside_voice>

I'd create the cube, then create my imaginary grinding wheel.  Then
I'd use a CSG difference (or maybe a few thousand...) to remove the
corners.
