Yes, indeed, the rendering time is heavily increased with this approach. The
only option to reduce it a little bit is to give proper bounding boxes
(bounded_by) since bounding with csg-differences or -intersections are not
implemented as one would expect in POV. But I think this would be a very hard
job, and so I can understand, that this issue has not been addressed so far.

I really hope that this WIP will make it to the contest. At the moment I have no
idea to link my imagined image to the topic. May be the Men-An-Tol as a stargate
at the background, just to keep it cornish.


Best regards,

This one is very credible! It needs only some animals, now.
Are you starting a new image for the POV-Ray Hall of Fame?

Thanks Paolo, I am quite satisfied too :-) But it is far from HoF 
quality and I guess my work in general generally falls short of that 
too. It is not my aim (as if it were me to decide ;-) )

Much better than my attempt of (my god, i'm getting old) seven years 
ago. I didn't dare to choose a close camera point at the time.

(The image is of course an illustarion of the glycocalyx, although I 
don't expect many of you are familiar with that. It is the layer of long 
proteins on the inside of bloodvessels that for a sort of gel and 
protect the bloodcells from colliding with the walls.)

Oh! I remember that one! A humoristic approach to Waterland indeed. ;-)

to emphasize that the scene in the glass container is in fact microscopic.

Why not indeed?

Do you take a proprietorial interest?

Ah! of course I get it now.

The spelling of glycocalyx is a pointer as well, I believe.
I really like that image. It tickles my fancy.
