I'm shuddering at the assumed render time given that you seem to have
been using the mesh compressor to grow hair on the organic beastie, and
from my experience, while the end results are pretty, it renders like a
dog...
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Render time was around 2 hrs for the 1024x512 original, mainly because of the
focal blur & rock wall (isosurface). The beast is made of blobs and the hair
grown with my own hair macro.

Can't you guess? :)
Custom particles (70% octahedra and 30% cubes), a bit of randomness in pigment
and orientation. Particle systems are such fun...

I'm impressed, but the focal blur is so subtle that I hadn't actually
noticed that it had been used...
And growing hair off blobs is a new one on me, but then again, I'm no
programmer, so I don't know hoe tricky it is or isn't to do.
Hmmm... I've just had a rather daft idea, involving a system running two
monitors, and the scene rendered at something like 1600x600, split in two
and put one half on one monitor, and the other half on the other monitor.
Only one slight flaw in this cunning plan - I only have one monitor :)
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Well, the good news is it can grow hair on any object. The not-so-good news is
it won't work in regular POV - it requires the trace() function found in
MegaPOV.
If you want to check it out, an older version was posted to
.binaries.scene-files sometime in January or February. The newer version is too
much of a mess right now.

Hmm... didn't Tor Olav find a way to place objects on a blob in plain
vanilla POV?

I had actually guessed custom particles using randomly rotated boxes,
with some specular highlights and maybe reflection to make the uneven
coloring. Well, I came close... :-)
Did you use the older versions of my patch, which had the
custom_particle feature, or did you generate the custom particles with
the get_particle() function?
