Hi,

Here's a remake of an old crackle chart, but using isosurfaces. It shows various
results from different forms. The one with white text is the standard form.

The attached image only uses metric 2, but the code can be changed if you want a
different value.

It's not at all exhaustive, but potentially handy for finding a jumping-off
point. (Please ignore the -0.0; it's been a while since using str() and I forgot
how to easily get rid of the minus sign ;P)

I really missed your posts, Sam!
This one could be very useful. Lately I have a very little time for pov-ing, but
when possible I want to try this kind of crackle on an old project.

Oh, hi Paolo! I didn't realize it was you at first, due to the name change.

Yeah, this chart should help for certain things. There's another one online at
https://www.imagico.de/pov/cr_form_en.php But it's a bit hard to navigate and
imagine how it will look as a height or bump map.

I hope you get some time for doing what you want to do soon. In the meantime,
are you making notes and sketches?

And here's an inverted version to see how they look when... inverted. (I had to
adjust the plane.)

If I post another chart, it will be only the most interesting forms that don't
saturate.

I'm in the middle of an internal move, and I haven't had access to my 
home PC for a couple of months... and yes, I'm taking notes because I 
left too many codes pending ;-)

Hopefully the move doesn't take too long! Sometimes I think it would be nice to
have an Android version of POV-Ray. (I think somebody compiled a binary once,
but I don't think they ever posted it anywhere.)

Hopefully...

An Android version of POV-Ray is available on Google Play (but is not 
available for my device). It was build by Ralf Wappler.

Just checked it out. It looks interesting, but the lack of description makes me
think it's pretty bare-bones. I can imagine one having to edit text files in a
different app and then switch over to POV-Ray for rendering, which would
potentially make the entire process very tedious. Still, I might try installing
it. Thanks for the head-up~
