BTW, this artifact was clearly made by humans. If you look closely you
can see several spots where the human face is represented in the sculpture.

Do you have an mpeg for us to see? :)

Um, you did do a test render first, right? I noticed the code I posted 
doesn't produce the exact same image.. but it's very close <shrug> You 
might also want to take the functions through the loop a few more times 
for extra detail.

That's when you focus on the foreground and let everything alse blur into the

distance. :)

Gigeresque :)

It's an underground dome, and the big encrustations are where minerals 
have seeped through and been deposited by water...
