Is there a texture or shape that looks like
a pillar, vs. using the square pillars that I
used in my 1st image (evilshpere)?

I want to make the pillars round, more
realistic.

Thanks in advance, 
Dave

Hello Dave.

Here is just one of many things you could try:

difference{
 cylinder{<0,-2,0>,<0,2,0>,1}
 cylinder{<0,-3,0>,<0,3,0>,.45 scale x*.5 translate x*1 rotate y*60}
 cylinder{<0,-3,0>,<0,3,0>,.45 scale x*.5 translate x*1 rotate y*120}
 cylinder{<0,-3,0>,<0,3,0>,.45 scale x*.5 translate x*1 rotate y*180}
 cylinder{<0,-3,0>,<0,3,0>,.45 scale x*.5 translate x*1 rotate y*240}
 cylinder{<0,-3,0>,<0,3,0>,.45 scale x*.5 translate x*1 rotate y*300}
 cylinder{<0,-3,0>,<0,3,0>,.45 scale x*.5 translate x*1 rotate y*360}
 texture{
  pigment{granite scale<2,5,2> rotate z*45 color_map{[0 rgb 1][.5 rgb
.5]}}
  normal{granite -.5 scale<2,5,2> rotate z*45}
 }
}

Good work so far! Have fun~

There are a couple of column include files that you could use -

I would like the source for the Pentagram.  I have been looking for a
nice Pent that I could use in another image that I am working on.


Thanks, 

Dave

Try a CSG of a cylinder with smaller cylinders cut out around the edges
for the fluted look. Combination with normal maps and/or heightfields
can give you a nice weathered look...

I posted the source for the column and the pentagram in
povray.binaries.scene-files - the subject is "Greek Column." (Both .inc
files are in a .zip file.)

Dave
