Yes the mapping is not the same, but anything close is fine.
I just thought that a "Standard Grime Ball" was a good way of people 
sharing and evaluating related techniques without the underlying model 
confusing comparisons. To do it correctly there should be a standard 
environment for the ball too.

Your ball is basically the same, but the layers of grime look more 
complex, do you have POV code for it? It would be great if we could set a 
fixed ball and env file/s then have people work on various grime type 
solutions. POV needs to get down and dirty! 
Then POV can have it's own library of filth and corruption.
I hope you don't mind a bit of muck raking?
:o)
