I posted the images with netscape newsreader so I guess I will have to
check my options are ok. Sorry you can't see them.
The good news is that source code is in P.T.S.F. so you can render them...

Yup, same problem for me with the original post.
Your yEnc versions worked well, thanks!

Folks, Heres my "fiddle with his macro" results using text instead of
boxes.
One of my problems with Pov is my lack of remembrance with geometry math,
high-school was only 20 years ago for me...
I couldn't come up with such macros if you paid me, well then again there
the big library called internet to help...
Thanks for sharing Nico.

You're welcome. I learned so much from these newsgroups that it's quite
natural to share anything that might be useful...
Nice image by the way.
I'm still struggling with my boxes to make it looks like a big city. I
think I have to add some clouds but I do not know what method could suit
my needs since I think I need some "volumetric" clouds. Any idea ?

Hi Nico!
> "volumetric" clouds. Any idea ?
Scattering media could be a way to achieve nice realistic looking
clouds. Perhaps you could have a look at Gille's MakeCloud macro which
you can find at http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources13.htm
Another nice example is Tim Nikias' "Worldbowl":

My clouds are boring and flat, volumetric I have yet to tackle..

It did notice...
If you were trying to center (to the origin) the passed object
to your tiled_sphere macro, I believe this should of been the
formula: -Min-((Max-Min)/2)
Just -(Max-Min)/2 was only moving it closer to the origin by
half the objects size.

Yes, yes, you're right. I realized that a few minuter after having
posted the code. I have to correct it in p.t.s.f.
In fact, I'm using - Min - <(Max.x-Min.x), 0, (Max.z-Min.z)>/2 to have
the bottom of the object lying on the ground in order to avoid some
collisions.

I think this may be less confusing though (results are the same)
- Min - < (Max.x-Min.x)/2, 0, (Max.z-Min.z)/2 >
