Sort of, not really, based on Incan, Aztec, and Mayan stuff. Every
object but the cloud pigment on the sky_sphere, which is not discernably
reflected in the brass spheres anyway, uses crackle. Also my first use
of rad_def.inc in 3.5, and I was quite pleased.
The surface normals got averaged out a bit when I resized it from
1280x960. The stonework looks less precise than I wanted, but I
increased the beveling in the normal to make the cracks more visible.
Everything looks better at 1280x960.
Comments?

Strange but nice... perhaps the sun is too vertical (if there were not
spheres, sun position will be very difficult to understand).

An excellent image with a sense of the ancient - perhaps less perfection,
some ruination? Nice colour and textures.

I really like this although I agree with Jaime that the sun is too vertical.
Try lowering it towards the horizon and then you should be able to see a
more dramatic effect from the radiosity.

Really effective, the crackle pattern offers indeed a lot of
possibilities. Is it a heightfield or an isosurface?

perhaps... i might try some different positions.

Thanks. More ruination might be difficult though, I might have to go to
an isosurface, and then, the displacement is vertical so it'd be hard to
take chunks out perpendicular to the inclined faces without skewing the
chunks. If I want to wait years I can always difference two isos.

Thanks. I agree, a little more contrast might help it.

Height_field. Isosurface goes much much slower. :(
