I applied the proximity texture to a box as my blob man walked through
it.  Not quite as cool as I expected....

Render time: 43 hours.  If I ever did this again, I would use a
combination of object and pigment patterns, as this is apparently only
showing proximity to a SURFACE of the object: I expected a "0" value for
all spaces inside the object....

Looks good, though. Like he's walking through a heat sensor.

You didn't read the documentation. :-)
sides INT_SIDE 
Use this keyword to decide which sides of the object to calculate the 
pattern on. 

0 Only the points inside the object are calculated. 
1 Only the points outside the object are calculated. 
2 All points are calculated. 

I'm not surprised at the speed, though...didn't you try the blob pattern?

So how do I make it the regular kind of gradient for points outside the
surface, but 0 everywhere inside?  I don't remember what I used and don't see
an answer in what you copied.  I'm thinking I have to do this with a map first
on the object pattern...

My blob guy has about 200 components and my walking INC is so complicated that
I often forget how to use it if I let it sit for a week. I don't want to try
to import it into another pigment with its own complicated syntax.   I started
out trying to get a kind of shroud of turin effect with the face because it is
so detailed.

I was reminded of the shape of an Football player, and this comment
reminds me of a Football huddle... (That's American Football, BTW)

Hi Greg.  Ready-Brek is a nice sort of porridgy, (oats), breakfast, (just
add hot milk)!  But the advert that goes with it on UK TV, features a young
lad and his sister, IIRC, that go to school on a cold morning, with a nice
warm *glow* around them after having their READY-BREK.  It does remind me of
that also :o)

     Nice ani, btw.   ~Steve~

Oh, and it might be a UK only reference :)

But I like the pseudo false colour thermograph effect.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Just add "sides 1" in the proximity pattern block. The object pattern is 
not necessary, and would be a waste of time(both coding and rendering), 
since the same calculations are already done in the proximity pattern.

You don't have to rewrite anything...you do know that with MegaPOVPlus, 
you can use blob objects to control the blob pattern, don't you?
Of course, in MegaPOVPlus, you would *have* to use the blob pattern, 
since the proximity pattern isn't in working order right now...
