It started as an innocent exploration of the pavement pigment but the 
thing escalated quickly and out of control.


The source code is in pov-ray.text.scene-files
It generates an output file with the parameters used in each image and I 
think it is almost decent (not at all) to see. Use with care.

Greetings.

Those are very nice. But what makes them random? They look pretty 
regular to me.

nice job ... and perfect timing! i was playing with pavement for use in 
my latest and moved on to something else because i couldn't get it to 
behave like i wanted.

The parameters used are (almost) random.


In this image I present what could be done by putting together tiles of 
this type, square, hexagonal and triangular.
There seems to be no limit or vocabulary to describe the forms they 
generate, and among a lot of garbage every once in a while something 
decent is generated.

Some examples of a macro I wrote years ago.
Let me a pair of days to finish some details and it will be posted in 
p.t.scene-files

Thanks, hope you found it useful
I do not think anyone can do what he WANTS with pavement pigment.
It seems that our taste is a bit capricious and all these results are 
all fruits of chance.

You've been reading too many ancient celtic manuscripts ;)

Very nice work! This seems to be one of those situations where POV-Ray's
'code-driven' paradigm might be superior to a purely menu-driven graphics
program (where a user would have to pick and choose various parameters
beforehand, in hopes of producing something usable.)

I've also come to think that, but it's not old Celtic, it's my own 
source code. I keep trying to unravel strange things and advance what is 
there, at the moment it is shamelessly illegible and full of constants 
everywhere.
