Started thinking about placing blobs along a trail . . .
I did a blob made up of 60 spheres . . . shifting each by 0.5
along the X axis and allowing each to randomly shift a small
amount in the Y and Z axis.
The top blob is only that ... with Strength and Radius set to 1.0
and threshold at 0.2.
For the next 3 I just varied the Strength as a funtion of the count
so that it began at ~ 0.4 and ended at 0.9 for the 2nd from the
top, 1.6 for the strength of the 3rd down and 2.2 for the last.
This gave it a bit of taper . . . next I had planned on having 3
or 4 intertwine but I got sidetracked . . . started playing with
textures and ended up with an icicle sort of thing. ;)
Some lay a good ice texture on me and I'll keep playing at it.
Back to the roots tomorrow ;)
