Inspired by Warp's relatively recent post to take a look at his "4 tips to
improve a simple POV-Ray scene" <http://warp.povusers.org/povtips/>,  I
thought I'd post my recent experience with what I imagined would already be
thoroughly documented.  Please comment on what I posted to the POV-Ray wiki
or better yet, improve the wiki.

Perhaps google and I have missed the online repository of all things
POV-Ray, but I couldn't find a good description of how to do a decent
stained-glass crackle texture, even though this application is mentioned in
the POV-Ray manual.  Perhaps it's too cliche and has been purged from the
web by vigilante raytracing puritanical extremists?

Anyway, it took some doing, but I think it turned out alright.

Thanks for the feedback.

P.S. I copied the article from my personal wiki, where there are
higher-resolution images, but I don't know how much traffic to expect from
this newsgroup.  I already got an unusual surge of bandwidth this month and
will hold off posting the link until February unless page hits are likely to
be fewer than a few thousand.
