Not very inspired lately, so I've been playing with height_fields and 
isosurfaces.

This scene has one hf, skewed, about 200 isosurface rocks, also skewed, 
3 area_lights and one greenish isosurface sitting on the ground.

For the most part the rocks blend in with the bedrock, which I suppose 
is a good thing. They use the granite pattern for displacement and were 
given the same texture as the hf.

I purposely made the color of the sky a little extreme, attempting to 
emulate the great turn of the century painter, Maxfield Parrish.

The greenish isosurface is a cylinder displaced with multiple cos 
functions added in a while loop. I think it may be related to the 
Fourier Series, though I don't really know much about them.

Render time was just shy of 20 minutes, thanks to the very simple 
area_lights (all 2x2).

Any questions, comments etc. are always welcome!
