the plug-in is a max plug-in used only to get the geometric datas
(instead of writing a conversion tool, I used a small part of antoher
plug-in I did).
I'm using: vertices, normal, colors
all the computations are done in POV. I have a main macro that
interpolates those 3 values in an nearly homogeneous way on each
triangle (randomness is enabled or not by a boolean) then, for each
step, it calls a user defined macro with 3 parameters:
- position of the point
- normal vector
- color
in this render, I put cones at each step, I oriented them thanks to the
normal and I used the color to alter the length of the fur in a very
simple way.
I now have to create bounding slabs myself because when doing a render
with a large number of objects, it is the longest part of the parse process.
Does someone has advices for this objective ??
Thanks.

Quite realistic in the way it looks light where something would normally
be dark and vice-versa. Must eat memory though.

In fact, the "light artifact" is...not understood...there is only one
light source, a plain color (rgb <0.5, 0.5, 0.2>) and an ambient value
of 0.4...
And yes, it is eating a lot of memory (for the first statue, 256Mo of
ram and a swap file of 200Mo was not enough for the 460k cones!!)...I'll
do others additions to replace the cones by curves hairs and such things
to see what I can achieve...then, I'll do a "real" scene...

The usual solution to this sort of memory consumption is for someone to
suggest using a single mesh filament, referenced as often as required.
So I think I'll suggest it :)
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Hmm. 'Punk'? It looks to me more like the kind of haircut people give to
poodles <g>.
Great fur tho.
