You could use the heightfield macro that comes in shapes.inc. Write out the
heightfield vertices to a file, scale them to a proper amount, and transfer
the each vertex of your mesh along its normal by the given height of one of
the HF vertices.

Don't know what your modelling there, but guess it's something that can't be
expressed as a function? If it could be an isosurface could be nice..

Very nice image.

No it can't be expressed as a function (at least not with my rudimentary
math skills). See next post: SEM neurons

Anyway to do it that is $50 less? (yes, I know I'm cheap--actually I'm just
poor or married--they both keep me from spending $50 just like that). Even
an algorithm--I'm on spring break and might have some time to put into it.

Here's a SEM image of spheres I made ~15 years ago. It's coffee creamer.

Thanks for the reference image. You're the third person that has responded
to my threads that has had experience with SEM. Interesting. I guess I
shouldn't be surprised--pov and SEM (and some other things as well) are
"technical" aspects of visual "art". Anyone else out there?

Yes, the texture has a way to go. I was just happy to get closer for the
moment.

Partly :)
I do not have much experience with SEM (actually I might get, even as a result

of my experience with POV, so there may be a connection one way or the other).

I am working in medicine though.

This is OT, but what area of medicine? I'm a med student and do some
deafness research (human genetics-ENT) as well. No SEM experience, although
I have always found SEM images fascinating.

Hmmm, something to look into. Thanks for the suggestion.

Cardiology (ECG signal processing, arrhythmia, image processing, 
molecular cardiology, embryology and in fact anything with computers).
Any further comments preferably to my e-mail address, this thread is
going off topic.
