I've gotta say, that looks very good! To use icosahedrons to simulate the braids
is something I never would have thought possible. I'll experiment with the code
and see if I can get a more realistic texture and so on.
Thank you very much for your help! That goes for everyone of course :) Hopefully
I can now get a decent-looking scene together with everything I've learned here.
