I *knew* a heightfield was involved! ;)

How many cylinders in the scene? Render time? AA settings? And were all the
cylinders black or did they very in color dependent on intensity?

BTW, I'd be interested in seeing the result if you rotated all the cylinders
by 90 degrees. Would make for a less harmonic and more spiky image I'm sure.
45 degrees might also be interesting. :)

I don't think that would be as visually interesting. The great thing about
the current image is that it looks very hand-crafted, like it wasn't made by
a computer. Something difficult to obtain.

300x300 sample grid makes it 90000 cylinders. All black. Maybe 2 minutes
+am2 +a0.5.

Sounds great!

(But a render time should always be followed with a processor specification.

Thanks! the 90-degree one is just like I imagined, the 45 degree one not as
interesting. But the best one is still your original one. I definitely must
play around with this sometime...

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a contour line on a height-field? Are you
referring to the normal at that point, or some other characteristic with
which I am unaware?

Replying to myself.
I bet youre talking about a line perpendicular to the surface normal and +y.
Am I right?

Same as elevation lines in topographic map.

Phagh, ANYBODY slaps a filter over an image on computer
and calls themselve le artiste...REAL half-tone art, be
it pen/ink or zipotone, is done by hand!

Yes, but can anyone write a half-toner in POV? (or did you miss that part?)

Ah, but he's not just anyone.  He's weird.
