Attached is my first round at adding bumps to a planet object.  It takes
about 3 minutes to render.

PROBLEM:

Using the rand(X) function in POV, I find that it creates too even a
distribution in the placement of all the objects in the picture.  Notice
that the band of green bumps are fairly evenly spaced around the globe.

Does anyone have a better rand function that will get me better clumps of
land mass???
