Hi Folks,
Well, this is something of a tangent to my usual landscapes / clouds
LParser page and saw his 'Emerald City' series (see
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljlapre/ec.htm ). This inspired me to do something
similar ... or try at least.
This is the firstish attempt that I like. The presence/absence, texture
and rotation of each small cube in the shell of a larger cube is
determined by the value of a bozo pattern at it's centre. How I did this
will be left as an exercise for the reader. Any guesses? Suffice to say,
I couldn't figure out how to do it with standard PoV but used SuperPatch
functionality.
Since this is an experiment, I thought it should go on a bit of low
grade graph paper, not the nice crisp and clean bits other people seem
to like :-)
Let me know what you think ...
Bye for now,
Mike Andrews.

I like the very ruinious look it has. Like a bombed out building.

I like it too!
What might be interesting is a solid cube like this, rather than just the walls of
the cube.
A block with holes, rather than a room with holes... does this make any sense?

Cubical decimation of a solid cube ?

I did something very similar to this, but it used a custom patch of mine
with two new functions, eval_pattern and eval_pigment.
eval_pattern(pattern, point vector) gives the value of the pattern at a
certain point, and eval_pigment(pigment stuff, point vector) gives the
color of a pigment at a point.
Also, my version was a solid block(not just the faces), so it was like
seeing a physical representation of the pattern(although the isosurface
would do better for this). This means that it took a LOT of memory. :-)

Bozo height_field and trace()?
That's how I generated 2D Perlin noise values for a scene...

this looks like my brain after my differential equations exam this morning.

"We have a winner !!!"
Ha! And I thought I was being oh-so-clever :-)
The great thing about Ron's trace() function is that you only have to
#declare an object, you don't have to instanciate(sp?) it. So I just
redeclared a height_field { pattern ... } object at each loop up the
y-axis and trace() at each x and z position to get the height offset.
I'll put the source in p.t.s-f in case anyone is interested.
Bye for now,
Mike Andrews.
