thanks, Kari Kivisalo :)
This is the Berserk, a spaceship inspired by the Liberator from Blake's 7.
Sorry for the big png, but a jpg would have been worse quality at a higher
filesize.

Beautiful spaceship!!
Not sure what you mean about the jpg version though.
Here is a jpg version of that png file and it is less than half the png size
and I cannot see any difference
in image quality. Must be my old age.

hmmm, that's a jpg-version of the jpg-version, only your file is almost double
the size of the file I posted :)
Maybe I could have posted a jpg-version instead of a png. When I compress it at
a compression-rate of 70 (don't know what that exactly means, but I do know that
70 is a lot :) I get a filesize of almost 130KB, and the quality isn't too bad.
But for those 30KB more, I thought you might wanted to see the png, which looks
almost identical to the rendered bmp-file (I did change it a bit: only 11 colors
were used, so I converted it to a 4bit 16-color image)

What about animating those half-toning things?

I don't have time to improve the code so I posted it to
binaries.scene-files since there is interest in it.
Something to try: sample from color image with a set of color
pens, for outlines sample from high-pass/edge detected image
with higher sample rate, use gaussian distributed random numbers,
use functions to find the gradient directly.
These look surprisinly artsy. I bet someone is thinking of
making the next "Snowman" :)

should be interesting. Maybe I'll try it one day, but not with this model
(trace time was about 2 hours for the normal version, and about 7 minutes for
the pen-version)

I see you used a height_field and a image_map-function. I only used a
heightfield.
Maybe it's interesting when I post my version of the half-toning code.

what do you mean with "the next 'Snowman'" ?

That is one sweet spaceship. I hadn't heard of Blake's 7, so I looked on the
internet. Must be very popular judging from the number of sites about it.
I saw a link from one site about the daleks, a favorite villain about which
I had forgotten.
