Have you thought about constructing a GREEBLE(sp?) macro for POV.  3d
Studio has now and it would ease the modeling of tiny details in
cities/machines/whatever.  Maybe it might work like a cross between your
macro, the cityscape macro, and the pipes macro.

	If you don't know what greeble is, it's the leftover junk that model
shops like ILM add to their models to detail them and add a level of
realism and scale.  The macro would really ease constructing a planet,
because you could give it a few parameters and simple models and BAM the
terrain is covered with cities, farms, ports, etc.  And the level of
detail can be reduced the farther the camera is away from the object.

Anyway, whaddya think?
