I could not resist the temptation to do the same with only POV-Ray ;-)

height_field + image_map + trace() + eval_pigment() + 500k cylinders 
placed randomly.

Much slower of course: about 16 minutes, of which 15.5 minutes for 
parsing. Writing results to file would make subsequent renders much 
faster of course.
