I'm about to work on supportng blobs and meshes, and yeah, I've also thought "why
not just use a height field?" But it seems like with
blobs you could get something a little more organic looking. My hope is to come up
with something that might be able to convert 2D
images back into something like 3D representations, say with faces and figures.
Problem is, what is POV-Ray going to say when I give it 7,000 blobs?!
It can already change height according to color, this is most pronounced with
cylinders as the objects. It turns out looking somewhat
like those beds of pins you see in toy stores that can record an impression of,
e.g., your face or hand. The result of this is pictured
below, with the original image in the corner.
You can get the "latest version" of TGAMosaic from www.coe.uncc.edu/~adwoodfi and
see a few more results with it. The page needs to cleaned up a little bit, and I
have quite a few other weirder looking outputs that need to be posted.
