I have: http://www.fmi.uni-konstanz.de/~willhalm/graphics/tracegallery/

Perhaps I should rework it using angle depending reflection. The structure
of the surface is a normal map which is created by adding several versions
of a crackle pattern. I have modified POV-Ray to allow the addition of
normals (instead of averaging them). Furthermore, I tweaked the crackle
pattern such as Ron did in the megapatch.
