a) Drive people absolutely nuts and job security...
b) TOO complex
c) TOO Much CODE.
Here's my solution...
#declare RS=seed(9938);
//------------------------------------------------Wall
#declare R1=1;
#while(R1<3000)
#declare RX=rand(RS)*50;
#declare RY=rand(RS)*10;
#declare ROD=rand(RS)*1+.5;
#declare RSY=rand(RS)*.5+.5;
#declare RSX=rand(RS)*.5+.5;
sphere{<0,0,0>,ROD scale<RSX,RSY,1> translate<RX,RY,0>
texture{pigment{color Red}}}
#declare R1=R1+1;
#end
I made it only 10 units tall instead of your 25. Looks better.
