I've now changed things so that each greeble unit is assigned a random
texture taken from a texture_map instead of a random pigment from a
colour_map. This allows the larger greeble units to look less bland.

While impressive, perhaps a marble-like texture is not the best 
approach? It starts to look like a greebled bathroom fixture. :-)

Good work.

If I look to space images (Space Shuttle, satelites, etc.), I always 
recognize a very strong contrast value (due the lack of an atmosphere). You 
can simulate that by multiplying the light's color, somehow like that:

light_source
{
 < -1000.0, 1000.0, -1000.0 >
 color rgb < 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 > *5
}

This will brighten the lighted sides, and increases the contrast. Maybe, in 
addition, you can experiment with the Gamma value of the entire scene.

Go on with your experiments. Maybe, who knows, it is ending in macros for 
side, front and top/bottom greebles which many of us can use.

Greetings,

Sven

Coming along nicely.  I think your critics are missing that you are in 
test mode.  Still, it would be interesting to see what this could do 
with some full dress, ominous, stalk-starwars, space-metal, textures and 
starker space-lighting.  -Jim
