I don't think I've seen anything like this in p.b.i--it's so different and
beautiful that it seems like a 'new direction' for POV-Ray. This has "Hall of
Fame" written all over it. I can't begin to imagine how you accomplished such a
work of art; it's sublime, and transcends technique.

Probably something like a CA, only implemented in biological chemistry.

Well, is it any surprise that organisms comprised of cells exhibit some
"cellular automaton" behavior? ;)

To quote from
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/11/061126121128.htm
Biology reveals that the shape and colour patterns on the shell of the
mollusc mirror the localised expression of specific genes in the
mantle, a layer of skin situated just below the shell.
For rendering shells in POV you could look at http://www.shelly.de/
I have not tried this program though.
The isosurface tutorial has some renderings
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/shells.htm
I am sure i saw an article some time ago that gave equations enabled
you to draw the patterns of actual shell colourings but cannot
remember where that was.

Well I didn't coin it - just adapted it from Mr Wolfram and his CA opus
"A New Kind Of Science".
