Whilst I agree in principle that old skills should not be lost.
I cannot remember the last time I had to knap a flint knife.
But if you can't keep up, stick to what you all know. ;)

Goodness! in the 1990's that was the very first modelling program I
discovered, which brought me to POV-Ray in the first place, and before I
discovered Moray.

That is one I use once in a while for tiled surfaces.

Not a bad idea.

Another technique which might be very successful in this context would
be the use of eval_pigment() in combination with trace(), to place
objects on a height_field or an isosurface.

Thomas,
I had been thinking about trying this method, recalling that several folks were
exhibiting quite impressive results with plants and other items, but was unable
to find any documentation or sample code to get me started.
Could you provide a pointer, link, or a few key code snippets to show the
basics? I think this is a powerful method that a lot of people could use to
make better scenes, faster, if there was some quick-start code readily
available.
{Maybe put it in a new thread with eval_pigment in the title for future
searches?}
Thanks!

That looks good for getting some of my VISIO drawings done - since it's 2D.
:P
And there was only ONE there. :O
I do believe the POV-Ray community is crying out in anguish for an infinite
supply of true 3D raytraced, ambient-occluded, richly textured and micronormaled
Round Tuits <cue singing angels>.
{In the beginning there was the Holy Trinity, "David Kirk Buck", "Aaron A.
Collins", and "Alexander Enzmann". Together, they proclaimed in a loud voice,
"Let there be the Ray." And it was, and it traced the Void, which prior to its
Great Rendering was without Primitives or Textures. And they gazed upon this
new wonder, and said "This is good." Thereafter they created Users, to whom
they granted gifts and said to them, "Lo, behold what we have given you - go
forth and create your own Scenes, to further embellish this Great Coordinate
Space and further exalt and celebrate the Light which is POV-Ray."
Legend has it, that in those First Days, the POV-Team coded in a lush green
garden with bubbling fountains and fragrant fruit trees, where in the center,
they had access to the Most Holy and unique Spherical-Tuit.
Then came the Great Destroyer, which they named Taxation, and they were banished
from their paradise and were forced into isolation in tiny cells and were
required to perform endless mundane tasks called "jobs", and so scratch out a
living by the sweat of their brows.}
:(
Thus endeth this reading of The Documentation.
p.s. Hope you are having an excellent summer and staying in good health

Excellent idea! I shall provide relevant scene code this week (probably
tomorrow) under a new thread.
It is a powerful tool indeed. I have used it mainly for the planting of
vegetation but it can be used of course for many more things.
