Here is another test, this time using the plain Ice texture.
Compare the icicles to the images below:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zIXvakIhsHg/TOvu1-KyeGI/AAAAAAAAAOc/WxruU-mKlkk/s1600/icicle.jpg
This one I have not implemented yet, but since I now see it is possible, I
will allow this:

I have another test I am rendering which I will post as a follow up.
Here are the stats for that image:

Feel free to send me a scene to "snow" on; I need to do a usability test
on this thing with code which deviates from my established patterns.

Yup :) That is exactly the effect I am going for with that texture.
The great part is that this works on even very complex objects relativel
y
quickly, granting the user a *lot* of control over the output with
relatively few parameters, which I intend to reduce to the bare minimum.
See below:
//#macro
snowTest(ctr,vectorArray,testVector,testObject,radVal,strVal,useTexture,
useInterior,icicleSegs,icicleProbability)
#declare st0 =
snowTest(Sp,randVectArray,<0,12,0>,objA,0.5,1,false,false,12,2.5*0.5);
Another very cool thing is that my corrosion, vine and moss macros use t
he
same core...so for every optimization made to this macro set, a corollar
y
improvement is made to the others as well...muahahaha!
Release of an initial version of all four is so close I can taste it! :D

Nice work!
I'm very interested in checking out your vine and moss macros, probably the
corrosion one as well. I seem to be heavily into poving plants and
vegetation atm. Moss would be a very nice addition!

Hello,
I've seen icicles with small air bubbles inside them, which might look really
cool if you're using photons.
Regards,

Are those macros available (e.g. in POVobjects)? They seem interesting, like
your icicles which are almost perfect.

Thank you :)
No, these macros are not in povobjects yet..I haven't got them to a place
where I feel comfortable calling them a "release" yet, but I expect I will
soon, if nothing more than an "alpha".
It is a macro pack utilizing trace() for all (vines, moss, corrosion,
snow/icicle) and a CA implementation for vines/moss. I have another large
group of utility macros (switches, randomizers, vector utilities, etc..)
which I use which I will probably release too.
Its funny...but I seem to enjoy figuring out problems in SDL more than I
do making stuff with the solutions. I think I would like best to see the
macros used by other artists..but first I must get them to a place that I
feel would honor my fellow pov artists time spent in using them.

I will be more than happy to oblige; there are test images up for them
from roughly 1 year ago, showing the last place I left them. Just searc
h
for my handle in p.b.i.
There are but a few more things I wish to do with the snow and ice macro
s
before I move on to improving the corrosion and vine/moss set, but if yo
u
would like, I can send you a pre-alpha of the ones you would like. Perha
ps
you will see improvements that I have not, and I could sure use some alp
ha
testing. Feel free to e-mail me: HY = -, AT = @, DT = .
I usually only work in pov from 0ct-Mar of any given year.
Once I get this macro pack complete I intend to release it completely in
to
the hands of the pov team/pov community, as far as rights and usage goes
.
If they decide to include it in 3.7, cool. If not, cool. After all, I am
not so very important. ;)
My next projects, some concurrent, will be Christmas string lights, icic
le
lights, net lights, continued adaptation of the standard pov-ray texture
s
to work properly with radiosity (should be done soon), and the whopper o
f
them all, adaptive implicit surface tessellation (this will be the most
fun!).

Well then I believe the POV Object repository is the right place to go :-)
You are doing great work and I definitely see possibilities in using your
macros.
