I'm not sure how PoV does it, but it sure runs a lot faster than my
smoothing algorithms. I think that the new height-field macros in shapes.inc
3.5 use a smoothing algorithm more like the one you used. Haven't tried them
yet, though. Anyway, they will write out the vertices so you can do whatever
you like with them.
