Or another idea: a wooden walk way, with planks from left to right, and
a railing. Not straight, but in curves around some of the stone
formations. Maybe even tiny orange lamps on some of the railing posts.

Instead of the scientist in his yellow rubber raincoat, do a rope
hanging down where the light is, and two persons coming down on the
rope, sportler dress or so.

That's what destroyed Lascaux. :(
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest
they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
There is much truth to that good advice. I've experienced it firsthand.

Haha, thanks! I'm glad it's found some use by someone as productive as yourself
:)
This is exactly the sort of project it was intended for.
I somehow missed this thread, your cave images are superb.

A little late to the party here... I am curious to know how many distinct meshes
you created for the cave. Were you able to build them all during parse, or did
you use the mesh include saving feature? Are there any pure isosurfaces left?
Really nice work though!

Thanks, and yes: this kind of project was greatly benefited in terms
of render speed and easy control of the shapes.

I did precompute two version of the stalagmites, two of the
stalactites, and just one for the rocks. In the case of the stalagmites
and stalactites I just randomly pick of the two version. For the rocks,
the only mesh is randomly rotated and randomly scaled in all directions
to make it look like different rocks. And no, no isosurfaces where
harmed for the later version.... :)

Glad you like it. I haven't updated it for about 5 years now (although I have
been far less productive of late, so there's only experiments and simple scenes
to add really). I keep meaning to redo it in a cleaner style and make it easier
to add content, but so much to do and so little time...
> Awesome stone here (but I don't like the girl)
Yeah sorry I went a bit mad for posable humans for a brief time, but was never
patient enough to sort out the clothes... doesn't help that the model is
actually an anime-style non-realistic figure. The brickwork was the main goal of
the mesh macros that Jaime has been using so well recently. Quick renders,
realistic shapes.
> But I love the girl here
Also my favourite. Although I cocked up the caustics behind the glassware, which
still bugs me :)

Ah, boo! You ruined it for me. :P
I didn't notice, I was really focused on the middle third of the pic.
Looking again, you need titles on the bottom two rows of books too. The
green row in particular looks too much like "copy object".
Still a great pic.
