I was curious about how the turbulence, frequency, 
omega, and lambda values works for the leopard pattern.

This image shows such a leopard pattern as a iso surface.

These are the settings:

turbulence 0.2
omega 0.6
lambda 0.4
frequency 3


Does anyone know if the image should look like this ?

I find it odd that there are "openings" and that these 
always face the camera.

I haven't a clue as to what a leopard isosurface should look like.
What I do know is that you left out one of the turbulence keywords: octaves.
It defaults to 3 and I'd say that you would see the pattern close were you to
use octaves 1, but that's only a guess.

Octaves defaults to 6.

It most definately should look like that, because that looks really
neat.

Thanks for correcting me Chris, just now looked it up.
I was going by what I had believed since the time of POV-Ray 2.0, which btw was
6 for that version also.
Could have sworn I always read that it was 3, although maybe from looking at
all the wood patterns.  Many textures probably use octaves 3.  But guess I
can't be believed  :-|

I'm really enjoying this sequence of pictures, such fascinating worlds.

Yes, you're right.

Octaves was one of the keywords I wanted 
to see the effect of, but I see now that I 
have used the frequency keyword instead.

I think I must have mixed it all up in my 
mind. :(  

And now I'm a little bit confused -
I think I need to look up these two keywords
again, just to convince myself that I do know
the difference.

And then I'll do test renders to see the 
effects of different octaves values.

Thank you Bob.

Thank you Mick.

I can't help wondering how many more different
_types_ of iso-pattern world's I'll have patience 
to explore with POV-Ray on a Pentium @100MHz


I'm sure there must be an infinite number of 
different iso-pattern world types just waiting 
to be rendered.

So how long did this take to render on your P-I 100 ?
