Hi

I am a longtime lurker in this group, firsttime posting.

I couldn't decide on which image to post first so here are three recent 
ones, two with requisite sphere and checkered surface.

The blue maze pic is created by a maze generation program I wrote in 
perl.  The original algorithym was in a C64 Compute! book in basic.
My perl program doesn't use peeks and pokes however :)  It is also in 
three dimensions versus the original's two.  This version of the program 
outputs cylinders to connect the box/nodes in the maze versus all boxes.

The island pic is from a terrain generator i re-wrote to output a mesh2 
object.  It still needs work :)  The trees are a palm tree from 
Pov-Tree_1.4  The water texture is straight from the benchmark pov file.

I think I remember this book. It was translated into polish as well. There
were very nice examples of drawing labirynth, random landscape with trees,
"dragon curves" etc. It had also a chapter about 3d graphics - drawing a car
in wireframe on c64. Is it this one?

It could have been, I don't have the original book anymore, just the 
memory of the algorithym hehe.  The Compute! books were the ones with 
mostly long hexidecimal code listings that beeped if you entered a line 
wrong.  Hmm, this one was in basic though so it might have been a 
different book.  I forget...

Not bad for 1500 of the same 13mb palm tree mesh file :)
