Right. This is what I have been doing up till now.

- I cropped invisible features underground from the central building. 
Dimensions now: <33.5, 33.5, 16.5> with z being up

- Assuming that the *magic* number 7.5 is valid for an object sized 120 pov 
units, I calculated the reducing factor for my building and used that in the 
params.

- I did the same for the basic element constituting the surrounding wall. 
Question: This object being strongly elongated, shouldn't the *scaling* of 
the bozo noise be scaled accordingly? I am not sure about that.

- From Edouard's example I deduced that the calculation of the df3 does not 
necessarily take place on an object centered at the origin, so the wall was 
calculated at its world's location. Question: Is this assumption correct?

Results for the time being vesible on the image.

All the best,

The proximity pattern is much better.
But I think you could have a softer transition between greenish and grey 
colors.

A birdseye view to show the different df3's. The tower looks right (a bit 
boring maybe) but the wall is not correct at all. At the extreme right one 
can see that the top has some greenish hue, but that is all that suggests 
the proximity pattern. The cenotaph needs some more fine tuning of course.

Correct. The blurring is a tricky business...
