Well, it doesn't look bad to me :)
Great idea anyway !

OK, I've tried what you suggested and it works fine, thank you, I hadn't
thought of using a function to do that...
It may be slow, but since it's only used once at the beginning, speed
isn't a problem.
Thanks again, that's easier to use than a text file or declares :)

Thank you, I thought it could make some interesting shapes but I couldn't
really experiment with a random placement of the cells... now that it's
easier, maybe I will find nice things :)
A 3D CA in 4D space would be nice, too, and it's possible with POV...
if you don't care about parsing times :D

Heh, apart from the checker (which I used at the beginning to check if
the world evolved like it should), it's a bit empty don't you think ?
On the other hand, I don't think trees and rocks would fit well next to a
cellular automaton ;)

Sure ;)
But the checker makes a good floor, I think, because your cells are blocks
that are not seperated. The checker remind that the world is divided in
cells. But I can't find of the floor cells have the same size than the
"living" cells.
It's a bit bare, but is very appealing, it looks as futuristic architecture.
Maybe I'll steal your idea one day ;)

Well actually they do have the same size (see the attached picture, with
only one level) but I admit it isn't visible anymore after a few levels.
Do you think leaving a small space between the cells would be better ?
I'll try it :)

Oh, well if you're interested, I can post the source on p.text.scene-files ?

Hmm... seeing the attached picture would be easier if there _was_ an
attached picture, don't you think ? :D

Oh, thank you very much, but I think I would do that with an external
little program (that would probably run a lot faster than povray) that
would generate the scene. If I do that quickly, I will keep you aware of
that !
But yes, go on, please.

Yep, certainly :) Thanks !

It might be interesting to start with an image of your name and see what
that looks like three generations down the line.

Well I posted it, maybe someone else is interested. I've already
done a program which could probably have been modified to output something
usable by POV, but I'm not very experienced at parsing external files with
it... and it was funnier to do it completely with POV :D
