Of course, I could instead use a large image_map (or just a fancy bump pigment),
along with eval_pigment, to determine building heights (and placement)from the
pigment color at any particular pigment point. That has already been mentioned
re: grouping buildings into clusters, and I've used such an idea in the past.
It's probably a much better idea, with a more realistic city result too.
