Long time no posts from me on p.b.i!
So here's my new desktop wallpaper. Nothing amazing but it's livened up my
day (and given me a headache).

Mmm, looks great! Simple, yet somehow compelling.
Is the hexagon height and colour pigment based somehow? Kinda looks like
it could be (although I have no idea how you would do that).
And are the hexagons actually on a sphere, or is it a mildly fisheye
camera?
Cheers,
Edouard.

Yeah the colour and height are sampled from 2 pigment functions. The code
looks sort of like this:
#local f_depth = function { pigment { /*depth function goes here*/ } }
#local f_pat = function { pigment { /*colour function goes here*/ } }
...
//loop over every position in the grid
object { hex translate pos+z*f_depth(pos.x,pos.y,0).x pigment {
f_pat(pos.x,pos.y,0) } }

It's an ultra_wide_angle lens.

Another variation, probably the best so far and certainly the most pleasant
as desktop wallpaper.
If you want a 1600x1200 version without the damn stupid jpeg artefacts on
the red bits, you can get a 2MB png here:

Neat! But the focal blur makes it look a bit small
for a planet, try with an atmosphere instead. And
maybe give the blue hexes reflection and ripples ;)

That's intentional, it's meant to be a little model planet.
