Thanks! Good scaling this time :).

Thanks! As I said above, I learnt much things by doing this image :).

Fabian.

But what is it? It looks like a fairly simple isosurface...

Actually, it looks sort of like the attachment point of a stem on a 
gourd(or the opposite end, where the flower was attached). This is why I 
asked if it was intentional...

Now, if only you could do this with procedural textures!

Sorry, I didn't understand your question :). This is a mesh.
I have Amapi 4.1 (http://www.tgs.com). This version was given for
free in a french magazine so...
This could certainly be done with isosurface but in this case you
cannot use uv_mapping.

Because it's more flexible.  You can change scale, turbulence, ...  Of course
it's not very easy to get nice structures, but imagine a more complex shape cut
out of wood, it would be quite complicated to do that with image maps and
uv-mapping.

Precisely, I mean as the Pov help file defines image_maps:

"When all else fails and none of the above pigment pattern types meets your
needs you can use an image_map..."

At one time I took this to heart and avoided them all together. Then I
realized that using an image map to apply things like stenciled lettering,
logos, or even dial type readouts and computer screens is not 'cheating,'
but necessary. Personally, I avoid using them as the primary texture on any
object. Still, when 'ya gotta 'ya gotta.

You have achieved excellent results, which makes me jealous and, therefore,
quick to point this out. :)
