This evening I have been trying to learn a little bit about textures.

I know that I have a tendancy to choose strong red, green and
blue colours.

Does this image suffer from this ?


Btw.: Can anyone count the number of components in this blob ?

That's a highly disgusting blob, Tor!

If I may be so bold, I would would name this one "Jingle Blobs"

Looks good!
Hmmm.... I' m not sure, but I'm guessing there are somewhere between
1 and 10,000 blob components?  Just a guess, I could be wrong.

You guessed right:  It's within that range !

Red and green are christmas colors, at least here in the USA they are.
"Jingle Bells" is a Christmas carol, and bells is pretty close to blobs
(being a word of one syllable that starts with b). Oh well, probably one of
those things that don't seem funny to anyone but me.

I see.

This makes me feel that I should spend a bit more time on choosing
the names for my renderings. My problem is that I'm not that good
at doing associations among words.

You could call it "Starfish from Hell", Tor. I think it suits
all 'round! :o)

     Very good btw.

Maybe not, but my stomach does.

Cylindrical or spherical?

thats just plain gross!, very well done!

i like the red bits - maybe if you added a bump map that mapped the texture,
you could make them look like sores

Brrr, that looks disgusting, i like it !

I think you should choose some less strong colors for the background and maybe
make it smoother so the object comes out better.  

If there are any chances i would encourage you to try isosurfaces.  For example
i would really like this one with the green stuff sticking on top of the
object's surface.

I like this idea, but I've never used a bump map before.
Now I will have to look into that.

I didn't think of this. - Next time I will.

Some great day I will install MegaPOV (or even POV v3.5) and try out these
isosurfaces everybody loves to play with.

But right now I think that I will stick to plain POV, because I have to many
untested ideas of macros and other "standard" stuff to try out.

And when I get the faster PC that I'm contemplating to buy, I'll even try out
that media stuff that looks so cool.

Until then I'll try to do as you suggest with the green stuff in my next blob
image.

Sorry.

It looks like there could be 36, but there are only 18 scaled
spherical components in that blob. All with positive strength.
