Some illustrations for a discussion in p.a-u (this is a new CSG which is
a mix
between the union and intersection).

The discussion in p.a-u is "can anyone suggest a better solution for my
problem?"

I currently name this mix CSG a "Kepler", until someone provide a better
name for it...
(Kepler is a mathematician which studied the starred polyedron, which
are really what
the first picture of the construct looks like)

I really like the penultimate one. They're all cool, though.

WOW, I could use an object the the second one, can I get the source?

Very interesting...though I wouldn't want to step on one of these.(ouch!)
Some of them look sort of like pollen grains or plant burrs...

I hope you did read my message in p.a-u about these objects: you will need
to patch pov-ray to have them (Of course, you could compute them with macro,
at least in this case, but that was not my approach of the initial problem, and
I really like doing the extension of the CSG from a binary approach to a
counting one).

I have posted the sources files for the previous pictures in p.b.s-f , but they
are
worthless without the patch (but at least they are easy).

My web-server is now forever down... I will have to found a new provider,
but not before a week or two, I think.

In which group would it be better to post the modified sources
 (a gzipped tar of approx 64K  [mainly due to parse.c]) ?

I have also written a short html-page (like the manual ones) about it, and
another page
with some examples. Where should I post them too (anyone want them ??) ?

I would post them along with the source code.

Hey, where's the small hexagrammic hexecontahedron? :)

What do you mean ? 
the pictures were based on the icosaedron and the dodecaedron.

Could you elaborate on the formula/description of your 
"hexagrammic hexecontahedron "?

Just curious...
