In case anyone wanted to try this at home, there's a typo above. What I literally
did was this:
#declare fnoise=.05;
#declare MyObject=
isosurface{
function{y/290+
noise3d(x*fnoise,y*fnoise,z*fnoise)/1
}
accuracy 0.01
threshold .21
contained_by {
sphere{0,100}
}
pigment{SeaGreen}
finish{ambient 0.1}
}

Why not support a Perl based scene building language? Maybe a filter which
spits out POV from Perl code... :)

Isn't povray scripting language already something like that?

Well, not EVEN REMOTELY comparable to the power of Perl! Just an example: I
have seen an XML parser in Perl which was written in just 30 lines...

So the power of a language is measured by the number of lines it takes
to do something.

Since I've been sort of an ornery troublemaker, here, let me affirm the wisdom of that
statement. Yes, when it comes to investing POV-Team manhours into, say a new GUI
modeller's interface, or new higher-tech radiosity features, then render-specific
features should have a higher priority.
Is is only when this "render-not-modeller" philosophy is applied to art criticism or
the
cool object-specific features of pov that I object. Trace functions, isosurfaces,
#write, object patterns, and the like have very little to do with rendering, and a
purist application of "r-not-m" would probably poo-poo at these features.
Perhaps, however, that's part of the reason we end up with patches.

I've seen a POV program that makes a PNG of a reflective sphere on a checkered
plane in just one line. Let's see you do that with Perl.

Why not write the bindings to Perl? I don't know if the source supports
that but it wouldn't hurt to take a look. While Perl is on my "to learn"
list, it is not on most people's list.
