The first modelling steps for a scene I've had in mind for a while now.

There'll be other structures too eventually, but I'm starting with the
columns...

Very nice... I can't wait to see the final scene. Are you using straight
isosurfaces?

I like the texture and eroded look of the (isosurfaces?). The structure 
reminds me of an egyptian temple.

Nice! Time for me to renew my own interest in this theme.  I am quite 
close to completing a second pass on my Corinthian capital which I how 
to weather with your mesh macros and also with your random placement macro.

Why does it make my think of modeling clay?
Maybe to smooth or not smooth enough...

Sounds / looks like a fitting scene for the upcoming TC-RTC round...

I think the columns are either too bulky or too close together. The way they
are, for some reason they look like a miniature.

100% meshes, macro-built in SDL. This rendered in 12 minutes on an ageing
Mac. It renders in under a minute without the radiosity... no way I could get
that performance out of isosurfaces!

Hmm, maybe. I might try normals, or maybe just crinkling up the pigment.

Too true, but I don't think I'll finish it in time for that. Maybe I could enter
a WIP if I get enough done.

Well, this is just a test render, they won't be that close together in the end.
There'll be vegetation etc (hopefully!) to provide some reference for scale,
too, so I'm not too worried about that.
