It's really fairly simple, lighting worked quite well, but the geometry is
far from being realistic.

That's a general problem with isosurfaces, you often can't prevent parts
to separate from the surface.

Thanks, but 52 hours for a simple test scene are really quite a lot IMO.

Thanks!
It is really quite simple, the agate pattern often leads to interesting
results with isosurfaces, although it's of course quite slow.

Is in p.t.s-f.

Don't tell me you want to start coding isosurfaces... ;-)

Yeah. It's easy enough with just a plane, but with a blob i don't know
how you'd do it. POV needs surface displacement! :)
