Hey POV users

I'm kind of a newbie with pov-ray, and I'd like to take my skills to the 
next level... This scene, though very simple, is probably the coolest 
I've made so far, so I figured it's a good start to learn what can 
really be done with raytracing.

Only, instead of searching through the manual for functions and 
textures, I thought of asking you guys! I've been looking your scenes on 
the newsgroup for some time now, and it seems to me that you can handle 
POV-Ray...

so, what should I do with this blob?

any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all!
Maxime


oh and by the way, here's the code so you can see how much of a newbie I 
really am ;-)

// I've made an animation with it...
// clock is set to 2 on the png

#include "colors.inc"

background{ Black }

camera{ location <10-10/pi*clock,5,-10>
         look_at <-2+2/pi*clock,-2,0>
}

light_source{ <0,50,0> color Red }
light_source{ <0,20,-50> color White }

blob{ threshold 0.4*sin(clock+pi/2)+0.5
