| Hi all, as part of a project I'm working on, I'm trying to create a macro in
| either Pov or MegaPov that will create a river of sorts, a line of objects
| on a hf.
|   You'd just enter in the x,y,z of where it should start, and the macro
| would then place an object there, then determine the next lowest point,
| right next to the previous objects location, and place another object, until
| it has either reached a predetermined length , reached the edge of the
| object, or has reached a pool, or bottom where there is no more lower
| points.
|    Hope that makes sense.

Makes sense to me.
I have a crude example of such a thing (non-macro as of yet) only capable of
distributing some blob components along the lowest path just using the
hf_height_at in MegaPov.  If you are saying you are actually making something
yourself then I wish you much luck with it.
