Thanks, Thomas.  As I am sure you can appreciate, there was a 
considerable amount of time spent with controlled testing to understand 
the effects of the different parameters.  Also I had to break down some 
of the coding in order to understand how they were working so as to 
understand how to apply them to a complex model such as this.  So right 
now this does not take advantage of some of the bells and whistles, such 
as adding random noise, which Eduard provides.  Though I did make use of 
the smoothing feature.

For the larger pieces of the model I used:
       #declare Proximity_SamplingDensity = 10;
       #declare Proximity_NumSamples = 10;

For the medium detail:
       #declare Proximity_SamplingDensity = 20;
       #declare Proximity_NumSamples = 10;

For the finest detail:
       #declare Proximity_SamplingDensity = 30;
       #declare Proximity_NumSamples = 10;

For smoothing:
	Proximity_SetPatternSmoothingValue( 15 )
