I gotta be honest.. I immediately saw the same thing.

I'm sure there is something Freudian in that.

Dave.

PS. Nice work Zeger.  Any idea why it does not work in POV 3.7?  I know 
you said it only works in MegaPOV but was wondering if you had found the 
reason why?

well, as I said in povray.binaries.scene-files: I suppose MegaPOV just 
ignores too small polygons, where POV-Ray tries to create them, 
resulting in that error :(

I'm trying to find a way to make sure the greeble-system doesn't create 
too small polygons, but I'm not sure how to do it :-/

Well good luck in trying to sort it out and once again excellent work. 
Are we going to see a "Star Wars" style battle cruiser coming from you 
to really show off the macro?

keep up the good work

Dave.

Hmm, if you don't know the historical maning of the word "Tora!", than you 

successful attack against Pearl Harbour. After the success of their surprise 
attack, they shouted that word...

It is something like "Hurra!".

Greetings,

Sven

Well, even Sigmund Freud knew already, that those things can be created deep 
inside the unconscious parts of the human mind. Often, they are a call or 
cry-out, indicating symptoms which lie deep inside our minds.

So, in this case, we all could assume that there are a number of unsolved 
desires or wishes in a person who's artwork shows - ehhh - certain patterns. 
;-)

But let's look to the great artis in human history: Rubnes, Leonardo da 
Vinci, and all the others... Didn't they also painted well, and didn't their 
artworks show their inner movements? Let's look to the women Rubnes painted: 
all of them were quite fat. Rubens had a strong desire for fat woman.

So, if Zeger our today artist uses his brilliant creativity to express dark 
desires hidden deep and unknown, than let's appreciate his great artworks 
and applause him!

He, he, he, he, he...!  Hua, hua, hua!

Zeger, I hope you can forgive me!   :-)

Best greetings,

Sven
