  Using a couple of proximity patterns

Hi all,

I promised to show some results of my experimentation with proximity 
patterns, using my cenotaph building. The attached image shows three 
results, from top to bottom:

- Patina2 macro (Rune Johansen/James Coons; 2003/2004). The pattern gives an 
interesting result for the building but it renders veeeerrrryyy slowly. The 
image took more than three hours to complete.

- df3prox macro (Edouard Poor; 2009). Something rather similar to Patina2. 
Parsing the present df3 file took about half an hour but the render was very 
fast. I believe that I have not yet got the parameters correctly as there 
are still some artifacts showing.

- fastprox3 macro (Sam Benge; 2009). Very fast parsing/rendering. I added 
here an adapted version of the wear pattern provided by Sam in his demo file 
to get a more interesting result. The settings especially of the pigment in 
the pigment_map block seems to be more tricky than with the other patterns. 
I am not really sure why.

What do you think?

All the best,

Thomas
