Hi:
Some months ago I wrote a pair of macros to construct text objects using
blobs and/or boxes, but never feel satisfied with the results. Some
suggestion and/or contribution?
source in p.b.s-f (is not very clear, but take a look if you want)
P.S. postprocessed with photoshop

You can find sth. similar in the last example of the following WikiPOV
site: http://povray.tirnalong.com/ow.asp?DropOnSurface

I like your block version, it looks kinda retro.

Maybe you're remembering the image that Dan Farmer rendered many years ago of
text made out of spheres and blocks that read "POV-Ray 2.0"... :)

That's remind me one of my Debian's wallpaper inspired by 
http://empirium.free.fr/defis/defi003/Full/Exether_03_a.jpg and made with :

#declare swirl = text {
   ttf   "openlogo2.ttf",  "l",  5,  0
   rotate x*90
   scale <10,0.33,10>
   translate <-3,.25,-4>
   translate <-0.7,0,0>
}

#declare pochoire1 = merge {
#declare i=0;
#while(i<30000)
   #declare posX = SRand(R1)*10;
   #declare posZ = SRand(R1)*10;
   #declare posY = 0;
   #declare vert = rand(R1)/2.5+0.25;
   #if(inside (swirl, <posX,posY,posZ>) >= 1.0)
         box {
           <-0.15,-18,-0.15>,<0.15,0.1,0.15>
           scale gros
           translate <posX,posY,posZ>
           translate <0,vert,0>
           }
   #end
   #declare i=i+1;
#end
}

openlogo2.ttf created from Debian EPS logo with FontForge (font creation 
free software available under GNU/Linux).

Nope, have not been around that long. But thanks for the link, that
directory is full of retro POV images! Very cool.
