Folks,
I've been working on "rebuilding" a mammoth Roman basilica off and on
over the past couple years, and one thing I haven't even dared try is
construction of a decent Corinthian capital.  It's based on the Greek
corinth flower, which looks I guess a little like cabbage, sort of.  Is
there some sort of L-system -based construction I could try, or should I
play around with clipped, flattened toruses?

Looking through a few image libraries, I haven't seen a thing with
anything more than a decent Ionic capital.  Interest in classical
reconstructions, which seems perfectly suited for POV-Ray's
ultra-accuracy, seems largely eclipsed by the surreal.  Maybe someone
can point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Roger Twitchell
