Did you notice the bug-eyed-monster in the center of the image
about 2/3 down ?

I have been staring at the image for some 
time now, trying to see your monster, but I 
can't spot it.

Please show me.

It's not *my* monster :)

Ok. See attached and use your imagination. Reminds me of a famous
Star Wars character...

I have now posted the code to povray.text.scene-files:

news://news.povray.org/3A08883F.ECDFB741%40online.no


If your idea results in something nice or interesting,
I would be glad to see the result.

Oh yes - I can see him now. 

Strange that he is in there...

Thank you David.

I set the jpeg compression to 80% to save space
and it seems that the high frequencies in the 
"texture" suffered a bit from this.

        Thanks!  It's even cooler big.  Such detail!
Iso-surfaces are cool.

        Unfortunatly I can't do iso-surfaces: there
is no Amiga version of MegaPOV*.  Otherwise I wouldn't
have pestered you for the larger render.  Normally when
I see something cool posted here, I try to recreate it
from scratch.
        Once again, thanks for making the larger version.
(how long do these isosurface things take to render, BTW?)

* I suppose I *could* throw MegaPOV on the wintel machine
  at work, but I'de rather keep the miggy and the wintel
  on the same pov-version, for easy file & render management.

I'm happy that someone likes this.

Yes I agree.

Some people in these newsgroups have tried to 
convince me to use MegaPov since April (I think).

Two months ago the temptation had grown so great 
that I installed it.

And one month ago I "discovered" iso-surfaces. 

Now I (almost) admit that I regret that I did 
not install MegaPov earlier.  ;)


>...
> (how long do these isosurface things take to render, BTW?)

I don't remember the stats, but I see now that 
the large one with the wrinkles renders at about 
18 pixels per second (at my 100MHz Pentium).

1024 x 768 / 3600 = 218.5        218.5/18 = 12.1

(So by this calculation it takes about 12 hours 
to render.)
