Long time no posts from me on p.b.i!

So here's my new desktop wallpaper. Nothing amazing but it's livened up my 
day (and given me a headache).

Mmm, looks great! Simple, yet somehow compelling. 

Is the hexagon height and colour pigment based somehow? Kinda looks like 
it could be (although I have no idea how you would do that).

And are the hexagons actually on a sphere, or is it a mildly fisheye 
camera?

Cheers,
Edouard.

Yeah the colour and height are sampled from 2 pigment functions. The code 
looks sort of like this:
#local f_depth = function { pigment { /*depth function goes here*/ } }
#local f_pat = function { pigment { /*colour function goes here*/ } }
...
//loop over every position in the grid
object { hex translate pos+z*f_depth(pos.x,pos.y,0).x pigment { 
f_pat(pos.x,pos.y,0) } }

It's an ultra_wide_angle lens.

Another variation, probably the best so far and certainly the most pleasant 
as desktop wallpaper.

If you want a 1600x1200 version without the damn stupid jpeg artefacts on 
the red bits, you can get a 2MB png here:

Neat! But the focal blur makes it look a bit small
for a planet, try with an atmosphere instead. And
maybe give the blue hexes reflection and ripples ;)

That's intentional, it's meant to be a little model planet.
