Hi everyone!

No amazing eye candy to show you, but I have resolved the issues 
surrounding my inability to accurately depict odd angles for certain 
crystal morphologies.

Attached is a png image showing both a screenshot from KrystalShaper, 
and a corresponding crystal shape rendered with POV-Ray. The problem 
areas are highlighted in red and green.

I used exact angles and distances for this test. My reproduction seems 
100% accurate, which means I can go on to create a library of minerals 
with support for randomized distances. A tutorial describing the 
technique may also be possible (although I still have that Weathered 
Surfaces tutorial to finish).

Questions or comments are always welcome!

Sam
