Argh! Punctuation overdose!

I will.
Actually, it's taking a little longer than I thought, mainly because of the
preferential edge-weathering option. The technique previously described works
OK when detecting the actual edges, but less so when applying the weathering.
The edge region ends up bounded by dead straight lines and it just doesn't look
right. I'm going to try one more approach (similar, yet different!) tonight then
I'll get back to tidying and finishing up the thing to be posted later in the
week.
:)

Where can one get a copy of your weathered object macro?

Bill posted a copy called 'meshrelief' on the POV-Ray Object Collection:
http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index2.php?objectName=meshrelief&version=1.0&contributorTag=Bill
