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...

Reminds me of MRI (magnetic resonance imagery) except that it's reaching way
beyond the boundary of the actual guy.  Really cool effect.

I think it would look cooler if the person were incorporated into the scene,
walking through the proximity box.

You see a black 'doorway', perhaps with a techie frame. Slowly the blue
appears, and colours increase. Suddenly a hand reaches through the door,
surrounded by the coloured halo. The rest of the body follows, and when it's
through, the door fades back to black.

I like it!

I was thinking of some kind of techie frame to catch an invisible man,  or
somehow turning this into a way to make someone melt or through a doorway, if
this were set up as a heightfield as the visible character actually walked
though. As I said I originally thought i could make a shroud of Turin with the
details from the face...
