Thanks, but IMO screen savers are an awful waste of computation power...

Thank you, the stones are individual, placed by a macro, the code has
become quite ugly, because the rows are structured as a tree to speed up
rendering.

How can you compare so different styles with each other?

I think they're all the best in their respective fields.

Incredible image by the way! :)

Thanks,
the clouds are fairly standard, used in quite a lot of my scenes, it's
just a bozo pattern on a sphere:

#declare P_Clouds1=
pigment {  
   gradient z
   pigment_map {
     [ 0.3
       bozo 
       color_map {      
         [0.2 color rgbt < 0.91, 0.96, 0.99, 0.0>]  
         [0.4 color rgbt < 0.91, 0.96, 0.99, 1.0>]               
       }    
       turbulence 0.85
       lambda 2.8
       omega 0.6  
       octaves 8
       scale <0.5,0.5,0.2> 
     ]   
     [0.5 color rgbt 1]  
    
   } 
   rotate 80*z
}      
      
#declare Sky_Bckg_13 = 
texture {    
   pigment {      
     gradient z
     color_map {   
       [0.0 color rgb < 0.780, 0.835, 0.976 >]  
       [0.27 color rgb < 0.300, 0.450, 0.950 >]        
     } 
     turbulence 0.05            
   } 
   finish { diffuse 0 ambient 1 }                    
}        
texture {
   pigment { P_Clouds1 }  
   finish { diffuse 0 ambient 1 }  
}

sphere { 
  <0, 0, 0>, 1      
  texture { 
     Sky_Bckg_13  
     rotate -20*z 
  }  
  scale<1000, 1000, 200>     
  no_shadow 
  hollow on 
}

I think it does not look more grainy than the last version...

Thanks very much,
concerning 'Gilles & HE Day', i think everyone has his strengths and weak
points, furthermore it's very much a matter of personal taste so such
comparison does not make much sense IMO.

mine rarely comes on.  it gives me a slide show of pics in a folder.  i
use it mostly for inspiration and enjoyment.  it's like going to an art
museum without leaving my comfy chair.  i mean, don't you just love to
look at awesome 3d art?  sometimes i even go to the desktop properties
and start the screen saver in preview mode.  so i'm wondering, if you
aren't rendering an image, and you go away from your computer for
several minutes (to eat or 'rest' in the rest room), what else is your
computer going to do?  do you have the seti thing?  curious minds want
to know.

I don't have a screensaver right now, because i usually manage to turn the
monitor off if i'm leaving for some time.  On the other hand the idea of a
slideshow screensaver sounds nice, it could be quite inspiring...

What i do if i'm leaving the computer for some time - well in fact i get a
bad feeling if i'm leaving it without work :-) Probably a typical
YKYHBRTL...

Yes but all of this said, Mick Hazelgrove will always be the landscape
king.
