Hi,
Does anybody know the method of object scaling by some function,
log() , for example?
I mean scaling along the desired axis, applying scale factor, say,
to the top part of the object more than to the lower part.

Check out pg 15 of the tutorial PDF.
Non-linear scale
#declare P = function {x*x + y*y + z*z - 1}
isosurface {
function {P(x, y*(1.05-y/5), z)}
....
A non-linear stretch has turned this sphere into something like a hen's egg. The
sphere is stretched more as y
becomes larger, and compressed more as y becomes more negative.

For that, you need to use an isosurface equivalent of the shape.

It works fine for isosurfaces, but is it possible to scale arbitrary
object non-linear way ?

Thanks, taking into account wide specter of isosurfaces, it will be not
too difficult.

On any objects, you can only have linear transformation, because of the
transformation arithmetic used: it's only a matrix of constant
coefficients applied to the ray equation.
non-linear scale is only possible on object whose definition is updated
by the operation: you get a new object.
That's what happen for isosurface by pushing the transformation over
input data.
You can also mangle the same way the data which create mesh/mesh2 and
maybe parametric and bicubic_patch.
I did play a bit with transforming mesh ( to get another mesh) with
non-linear transformation on hg-povray

Indeed. Though I was thinking if there was any way to actually do this from the
source code side (at some point)
That got me thinking about the kind of "sliding scale" that could be used, and i
suppose one could loop over an object, take a very small intersection slice, and
then scale the next slice, the slice after that would get translated to
compensate for the scaling, .... until you reached the end of the loop.
I guess it would kind of operate like I think those object bending macros work.
At least that way one could fully texture a CSG object and still "transform" it
without having to make the whole thing one monolithic object {} in the form of a
mesh or isosurface.

Hi, Le_Forgeron.
Thank you for this idea, I will try it, may be this is a solution I'm
looking for ...
