I'm in the same position trying to get some clothes to fit the way I
want. When I really want to get on with it.

So, I abandoned my attempts at being smart and reverted to the basic
filling of the container.
This time it is blobs that steal the show, with some brushed metal
texture. To make it more interesting (reflection wise) I included a hdri
map.

It reminds me a little bit of the Michelin Man or Bibendum. :-)

I was about to say - "It's the Stay-Puft..." expanded polystyrene man! :D
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_Puft_Marshmallow_Man)
I think the blobs could be fun, Thomas - have you tried a highly polished,
reflective surface?
I would also be interested in what differing blob strengths looked like - it
would be a wonderful effect if you got the parameters right to get that
stretched, interconnected blob filament look.
This is a nice new addition to --- The Thomas Gormley Collection! ;)
Keep up the good work.

Absolutely! Both of you!
It also has a vaguely disgusting alien look to it. I might need to use a
greenish, slimy, texture... [on todo list]

Strength and scale of the blobs are already randomly changed. I intend
to find the correct settings for those filaments indeed. I have not yet
been entirely successful.
I also intend to do a glass/photon sculpture of course!

LOL I readily step aside for the original inspirer of this all.

Hmmm. That would be interesting indeed.

Yeah - you may have to insert a few lines of code to limit the proximity of the
centers so that the density is kept low enough.
#if (vlength() < something) sorta thing...
> I also intend to do a glass/photon sculpture of course!
Of course - It's the first thing that came to mind, and I figured you'd do that,
so I didn't feel the need to suggest it.
I DO think that And's recently posted cloud/ice/snow texture would look
wonderful here!

Oh! dear. I must get new glasses. I misread that. ;-)

I like that too but it is quite large almost 300 Meg.

Interesting banner on the front page. Maybe I don't need new glasses
after all. ;-)
