Someone recently did a Celtic knot macro which might give you what you
need for the triangular bits.

I concur with Ken, an hf is probably what would work best. here's the
results I came up with.
The code:
height_field {
png "badge2.png"
smooth
pigment { color rgb <0.906,0.737,0.282> }
translate <-.5, -.5, -.5>
scale <17, 1, 17>
clipped_by {
box {
<-10,0.1,-10>
<10,5,10>
}
}
}
attached: hftest.gif (rendered heightfield)
badge2.png (source for hf)

If I can suggest, I think there is too much different colors in the badge... A
real badge would have a nice 3-5 colors design... and I mean White, red, brown,
yellow, etc... only those, no shade of colors... actually the shade should be
made by the antialiasing...

Now why didn't I think of a height field? I also like the Celtic knot idea -
that has a lot of potential also, and it's unique. Thanks for the great
ideas, folks!
Regards,
Dave

I agree, Simon. I failed to mention that the end result of this will be a
black and white "undertone." Hard to explain, so here's a picture...

Congratulations. For some reason the .png that you attached made ACDSee
fall over every time I tried to look at it.
What did you use to create the .png? I'm just curious to see if I can
reproduce the occurrence.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

I used Paintshop Pro 6 to create the png. I forgot there was an alpha
channel involved, maybe that did it.
Is this better?

Ok, then in this image I agree it looks good! and just need a little tweak for
the triangles as you said before...
Maybe a bumpmap of leaf patterns?

If you can use a image map for the center, why not for the triangles?
Even use it as a height field and slice it up until it fits.

Much better, but I've never had problems with .png's and alpha channels
in ACDSee, other than it displaying the alpha channel as black over the
top of everything else.
Hmm... Must just have been the way PSP handles alpha channels in .png's
Thanks, anyway.
Bye for now,
Jamie.
