You certainly do keep abreast of topics astronomical, don't you..

IIRC there was a sci fi novel about a "planet" made of stolen shards of other
planets all cobbled together...   can't recall or find it...

Thanks - the key idea is that it's going to be very much like a particle system,
where the engine doesn't control the particles - the particles direct
themselves.
So one can add, delete, or modify an include file (within the given
constraints(?)) and you can still render an entire planet - straight "out of the
box" or even if the only thing you've modeled is the Eiffel tower - or a sphere.
