Thank you. That Fib Pattern is very good for this scene cause it gives it a
"real world" touch, I think. You won't expect a place be paved in rows and
collums and this pattern breaks the straigth lines to. That adds much to the
realism IMO.

I'll post a poorly documented code snipped for the roof parts later this
day. It's basicaly a iso box+cylinder to which I added a agate pigemt
function. The code is not at all optimal (I intersected the whole roof part
with a box to trimm it).

Let me see, there is a link from Gilles Trans "The making of the Wet-Bird",
as Geoff Wedig told me. Its
http://www.chez.com/jrlivenais/vdesprit/gift/gift_eng.htm. It's a bit
difficult to texture it (I still could not figure out how to uv-map it, so
that I can rotate the bird), but it's no imposible task. If you want the
used image_map and my version of the bird, just ask.

Hrmph - so finaly someone did notice it :-) It would not be that difficult
to change that (I would just have to take a differend part of the brick
pattern), but as this whole iso-brick-patten got quite complicate I just
could not convince me that it's neccessary :-)

Don't know how the weather is at your place, but we have snow here in the
middle of Germany - some sun on the back would be nice ...
