This as far as I got with my original code (and I made only a single small
render, unfortunately.) The upper building sections are not 'correct' though.

Then I changed the code, to try a different approach to those upper sections.

*Then* I decided to go in a different direction entirely-- making the building
faces as height_fields (which will require a re-work of my original
city-building code.)

Ah, the fun of it!
