Did you come up with the name yourself or did you get it from arrakis.es? I
wish I knew how to do what you did with mf. All I get is stuff that looks
like sea water. :P

The name I believe comes from the book or more widely known the movie with
sting playing one of the bad guys... ( Quote:<english accent> I will kill
you!!!)
"Dune": A desert planet where a sort of spiritual spice is mined in the sands
filled w/ deadly, huge, sand worms...

Arrakis had virtually none, or very few rock structures... Looks good for
mars though it is not as an appealing name...
btw... Where are the sand worms... And the lightning in the ground that
proceeds them...?

    Great image, but I must have missed something. What are these ridged
multifractals and how can I get one to play with? Will my Wife get mad at me
if I play with it too much?

The only man I've seen using a double bass (contrabass) as a bass
guitar. Finger picking at that...

Don't you remember when the great stone cliff near that one base that had the
force field? The one that got blow up?

They don't have a reason to come out..... Anyways, they can't manuever very well
around all those rocks. :)

Yeah, they didn't tell us where to start, only that 'H' did this, and such; they
didn't give us starting numbers to use.
Here's my scene code:

#version unofficial MegaPov .4;

camera{location<0,3,-8>*4 look_at y*-4 rotate y*0 angle 40}

light_source{<200000,100000,-0000>,<1.2 1.2 1.15>}
light_source{<-100000,-10000,-20000>,<.15 .1 .05> shadowless}

//sky_sphere{pigment{granite color_map{[0 rgb<.4 .7 1>][1 rgb 1]}}}

background{<.65 .8 1>*.8}

fog{rgb<.95 .9 .8> distance 200 fog_type 2 fog_alt 20 fog_offset 0}

#declare Fract=function "ridgedMF",<1,2,8,-.5,1>

isosurface{
 function (-y)+(Fract(x,0,z)/15)
 threshold 1 sign -1
 accuracy .001 method 2 eval
 contained_by{box{<-10,-2,-5>,<10,0,10>}}
 //pigment{rgb 1}finish{diffuse 1}
 texture{slope y
  texture_map{
   [.915 pigment{rgb<.45 .4 .3>}normal{granite .5 scale .1}]
   [.925 pigment{rgb<.9 .8 .7>}finish{diffuse .9}]
  }
 }
 scale 20
}

41 minutes and 45 seconds (ouch) on my P166 mhz
