Did I understand correctly that you used povray animation
to implement an iterative 2d filter for thickening the strands
in the height field produces by your strands.exe tool?

Sounds interesting, how does it work?

Nice trick ;) Did you compare it to simply rendering the height
data near the water line as water? I suppose the blurring makes
it smoother to give a curved appearance.

Is your proximity pattern sampling in 2d? Or do you generate
points on a sphere for tracing the surface of a 3d object?
