In October 2002 Genady Obukhov posted barks to the p-b-sf (several
postings from October 4th, 6th and 16th) that may be of interest to you.

Me too. I believe it is spot on.

The figure is just a placeholder I use for the (approximate) scale of
shapes in the scene. It will disappear in the final version. I am not
always very strict where scales are concerned and do much just by
feeling or rule of thumb. Only in serious cases I set out a strict,
basic, scale dimension for the whole scene.
I am quite satisfied with the ice crust too. It took me as much time as
the whole remainder of the scene to achieve. :-)

Thanks indeed Michael! I dived into my archives (cough! cough! Damn
dust!) and found a trunks.pov from November 2002. I shall look further
and delve up those files you mention.

Yes, the file I have (trunks.pov) seems to be the final version of
macros. I am not entirely satisfied with them. Especially when varying
the BaseRadius and TopRadius values, there is a fundamental problem with
the F1 functions which do not adapt correctly/linearly the depth of the
bark accordingly. I shall look into that at a later stage maybe.

A promising image!
Interesting also the works of Jean-Pierre Ugarte. Some of those reminded
me the lithographs of Antonio Basoli (e.g.
http://www.italianways.com/lalfabeto-di-basoli-e-la-storia-infinita-2/).

Thanks Paolo! In turn, Basoli reminds me of Piranesi of course, another
of my inspiring artists.

Time for the final version I guess. I could add/change more but that
seems a little pointless to me. I am satisfied with this.

Good snow. I assume you used Gilles Tran's MakeSnow macro.
How many snow particles did you use?
