It's too blobbish. It looks more like they're coated with wet flour...

That's rather thick dust...if it were taller it would make good snow that's
already melting

When I was in high school I scanned a girl's face (on her request).
Made her close her pretty eyes and covered her and the scanner with my
black jacket. Would have turned out pretty well if she hadn't jiggled
throughout the whole operation.

Now that I thing of it, the whole setup must have been quite odd for a
casual bypasser :)

Bah! I've scanned my face plenty of times, eyes open... it's not that bad.

Actually, if you convert the scan to greyscale and use it as a heightfield,
the image looks quite good.

I still find this image too scary for words.

I think you are all daft, gone completely mad i tell you,, (guess i'd do weird
things w/ a scanner if i had lots of time to kill.. not like that's what pov is
for or anything...)

No wait it looks like someone spilled allot of dust i mean flower... Table
looks good, sort of looks like it is old and has warped its original
finish... The ball looks like something that has been sitting in a wood
shop... you definitely mastered the illusion of time :)

Hello Fabian. Perhaps making the discs into very small spheres, and shooting a
heck of a lot more rays (resulting in more spheres) you could get the effect
you are after.

The mud-mask facial that went awry ought to be the title of this.
