I'm not sure how it will look like.
Anyone willing to do a small anim?

Moonlit water is what it looks like, has the color of a lake near here at
twilight.

Oh come on now.  Seriously, this coudn't possibly be a photograph.  If it is,
then why do I try so hard to imitate real life for if it actually looks like
this?  :-)

Hi Alberto,

great job. IMHO the water surface needs some more fine structure.
Try a superposition of 3 ridgedmfs, where the next is about
1/3 or 1/4 scale of the previous each. Something like

         isosurface{function{y - myridgedmf(  x, 0,   z)} +
  0.3 *  isosurface{function{y - myridgedmf(3*x, 0, 3*z)} +
  0.09 * isosurface{function{y - myridgedmf(9*x, 0, 9*z)}

You may want to try different scaling factors.

I think this would provide for a nice animation as well,
shifting the 3 components with different speed (first one
fastest).

Is this really a photograph?  I've never seen water this blue, even when
someone adds blue jello to it.

I agree. I'll post a brighter image.

Thank your for your comments. I will give a tray to your suggestions.
About the animation I'm not sure. mac povray outputs animation in quick
time movies and I'm not sure if that is a good format for posting in the
corresponding news group.

That was a good thing I was saying, not bad  ;-)

Very nice. What are the settings on the fractal?

Sorry for responding so late. I will post the details at the irtc.
