More fun with an isosurface. I wanted to make a spring but I found it was
more interesting thicker. These renderings are starting to take all night
with this radiosity thang.

Code is at:

I /knew/ it. No matter how many times I looked at the equation, I didn't see
my error until I sent it and printed the damn thing. Fixed version attached.
:-/

Yes, I did real bad in math in school. Wonder why, eh? :-)

Surely a cat would have 9 mortal coils?

Nice image. I'd suggest using a different material on the cat, her coat looks a
little shiny which draws attention to the lack of fur.

... or 7 (cats in Spain have "only" 7 lives).

Heh -- I hadn't thought of that! :-)

Yeah, it looks really flat. I'm thinking of creating a bump UV map for the
fur. Poser's model is really lacking in detail and I think I might have made
the fur too light as well.

Thanks for the suggestion!!!

Such a nice looking pic that I hate to say this, but the mortal coil
looks a little ..well.. fecal to me. I might just have sh!t on the brain
this morning. Who knows?

LOL -- that is the nicest way anyone has said my stuff looks like sh*t :-D
Ya know, I thought the tunnel scene with the eye looked a little rectal too.
I might have to see a Psychiatrist about this. I'm afraid what the ink-blot
tests would show... :-) !!!

PS: I suppose if Snowflake /would/ be considering her mortal coil if she
squeezed that much output!
