Reminds me of a 1970s Yoko Tsuno comic, "The Three Suns of Vinea"...

See you in Khyberspace!

I forgot to mention that isosurface comes from MathMod "W_Skeletal

I would love to have the script to create the background. Could be a good
starting point for the atmosphere of a gas giant (planet like Jupiter).
Doesn't have to be an executable script, a texture or whatever that is would be
helpful.

Greetings,

Very well done Robert! Gorgeous textures too.

I don't know why, but I have the impression that we are divint into 
quantum space... (must be my books at the moment on the subject) ;-)

It's not just a texture.

Minimum code :
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------
camera { location <40, 0, 0> up y right x*image_width/image_height 
look_at <0, 0, -10>  angle 36 }

light_source { <40, 7,  0> color (y+z)*0.5 }
light_source { <36, 7, -16> color (x+z)*0.8 }
light_source { <36, 0,  16> color (x+y)*0.5 }

sphere {
  <0,0,0>, 50
  pigment { wrinkles poly_wave 2 scale 20 turbulence 0.50 }
  finish { emission 0.30 diffuse 0.70 reflection 0.5 brilliance 4 
specular 0.60 roughness 0.005 }
  normal { wrinkles 2 no_bump_scale scale 20 turbulence 0.50 }
  }
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------


Have a good time...

Oh my! Those textures are amazing. This reads at first glance like a 
painting. Are there any camera tricks here?
