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.

Thank you.

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.

Thank you.

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

See in p.t.s-f. anyway.

Not really sure if mars would look like that, but thank anyway.

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!  :)
