Only needed when declaring a float or a vector.

Yeah, that was pretty much me yesterday...

Me too. I brightened the sunlight, changed the area_light settings and made the
floor into actual tiles. Attached is a sample of the new macro.

Great Rob ... looking forward to seeing what you come up with :-)
On another topic: camera view ... I've been trying out some other
angles. Everyone who's been playing along give this view at shot and see
what you think:
#declare CamPos = <-10,1.4,-23>;
#declare LookAt = <22.1,0,33.15>;
That means we're going to need some eye candy for inside, but I really
like this shot.
I haven't looked at Sam's latest yet but I didn't notice a "view"
mention in his summary, so I thought I'd toss that out there ... another
even idea. It would be easy enough to duplicate the current position one
level up to get a better look (down) at the tile work in the courtyard.
Anyway ... I really appreciate everyones help. I'm amazed how quickly
it's starting to take shape

I like that view. A /slight/ change in look_at might help balance things
out: #declare LookAt = <22.1, 3, 33.15>; That way the main arch isn't
being clipped strangely near the top, and the lower-right sun patch is
still in the picture.
The area_light settings I added might need to be fuzzier too, since it
would make everything look much bigger.

The tile work will definitely need to be expanded to accommodate
different views, but it should be easy to fix, and will only result in a
longer parse time.
I guess I should start making some potted plants now...
For a collaborative effort, it's really turning out nicely :)

Exactly. It seemed redundant to me.

Jim, the new architecture is a big improvement indeed. Sam, those tiles look
great. Something I have been wanting to do for some time....

Thanks Thomas ... I like how the arches ended up being not only
repeatable in the horizontal, but vertical direction as well ... the
only drawback is at the end of the line you have to 180 and add an extra
arch to close it off (but not always) if a wall is the end point.

Looked pretty close to me ...
how did you arrive at: area_light x*0.03*LightDist, z*0.03*LightDist 5,5
adaptive 3 jitter orient circular
(the 0.03 part) ... some ratio of FadeDist size?? I'm making some notes
for the write up

no kidding ... I'm really enjoying this :-)

Cool.
It'similar to my generator done for tc-rtc competition, but your code is
more elegant.

I just kept adjusting the value until it the size looked close, and of
course it had to work with LightDist, since it might change at some point.

OK. I might start off making only a basic bladed plant.
