This is my first attempt at creating a hair/fur/grass macro. Somehow, I
think I remember seeing an image like this before. Did an version of POV-Ray
have an about-box that used an image like this (maybe Mac?) I did a search
on the net and didn't find one but it keeps tickling my memory.

Rotfl :) I like it, good idea, You should now add some UFO in background 
and/or some cow skeletons around ;)

Hehe :-) I was going to add aliens holding signs saying stuff like "POV-Ray
Rules" and "I Need Genetalia" too. This is definitely a WIP -- there is no
"interest" to the scene yet :-) I like the cow skeleton idea too!!!

Thank /you/. It is the greatest honor I can think of in a community of
uber-talents to have someone ask for source code. I am deeply, deeply
honored that you want to see it!

when your mother is an artist from water colour thougth to oils
and your critisms are accepted, one just wishes you could leap from 
newbie to guru by following example in text rather than a brush.

That's how I see this group -- as a way to learn by example from others :-)

Excellent picture. This is the type of thing about which I am always
raging. You have taken what would have been an attractive, one-technique
picture and improved it dramatically by adding the detail of logically
(by direction) smashed grass. The whole thing is still somewhat
abstract, but it's honest abstract.
