Each stone is an iso, and I have complete control over their texturing. 
Right now I'm working on adding some aging to them, but I also want to add a
pigment to the iso to make them a little less regular.

Thanks.

Got it in one.  There's going to be something coming out of them, maybe (if
I can get it to work), and perhaps some steam.  That should make it clearer.

Unfortunately, with the detail level I'm working, even at 1024 x 768 details
are often down to a few pixels.  I am hoping to have time to do some detail
shots of important stuff later (not strictly for the IRTC, but because
people may want to see).  For example, the only image_map in the picture is
the figure's eyeballs...
