I like the leather effect and the way you have moved the piping around
the joints. I would be very happy if that was my pic. I can't find
what you think is wrong though.

Height fields are not so bad. They are faster than isosurfaces for me
and don't give you headaches with the maths ;-)

My pic was meant to be used as a base for a glass ornament but I
didn't like the way it appeared through the glass. I think it needed
around 10MB mem but render time was only around 5 mins.
