I hadn't realised I had "got good" (well, okay maybe when I came up with version
2 of the city I realised!). Last few times I've tried to write short code I've
got remarkably unimpressive things.

Just to reassure you that I'm not actually that good, here was my attempt to
carve my name out of some spheres:

#default{pigment{rgb 2}finish{specular 1}}#macro D()difference{#end#macro Q(p,d)
D()cylinder{p/9+z,p/9-z,d/9}cylinder{p/9+z,p/9-z,(d-1)/9}}#end#macro S()sphere{<
0,0,0>,1}#end camera{location-20*z angle 25}light_source{<-1,2,-4>,rgb 1}D()S()
union{Q(<8,-4,0>,7)Q(-<8,4,0>,7)}translate-2.2*x}D()S()union{Q(2*y,3)Q(9*y,14)}
}D()S()union{Q(9*x,8)Q(11*x,17)}translate 2.2*x}

And I wanted all that code to fit into an e-mail sig...
