Hmm... I find the texture a bit too grainy to my taste in this version. It 
tends to overpower the perception of the object, so to speak. I prefer the 
smoother texture.

Did I say it already? Impressive modelling!

Friggin' awesome!

People make money with such detailed models...

I'm deeply impressed by your patience and modeling skills (and
not to forget by those craftsmen who actually made this out of
stone) but the texture does not work for me. I cannot sense
what kind of material this is meant to be.

I would use a stone texture which has some more details (some own grain, 
some slightly different colors, some other typical stone attributes).

Awesome model!

I really like your Corinthian Column top very much!

Would it be okay with you to e-mail me the source code? i really want to use 
your artwork in some of my scenes (I am in classical architecture scenes). 
Thanks!

That's not bad, Jim. 
Love the texture, are you going to paint it? ;-)

Sure I'll try to sort out something for you. Understand that to me it 
seems very much a WIP. I'll say more when I know more, but at this point 
it would probably involve zipping up either the 'smoothed' meshes 
(large) or the unsmoothed meshes (smaller) together with the specific 
SDL for combining them.  The use of the slope texture is integrated with 
the SDL but is not giving a particularily great result so far.  So as 
long as you are willing to take it for what it is...

I agree, it is really not what I want, and one might ask: why post it 
then?  And the answer is that I needed some way to break out of a 
Sysiphus-like cycle where I would get close then destroy what I had 
done, and so constantly reinventing, so I tried to consolidate what was 
at least close by forcing myself to post something.

Your specific confusion is justified.  It is caused because I tried to 
use a granite pattern to suggest the clotting of grime due to actual 
surface texture, but the result might just as easily suggest the actual 
colour patterning of granite itself.  That problem is acerbated by a bug 
on this render whereby the normal perturbation does not correspond to 
the grunge pattern like it was supposed to.*  I now have a render where 
that is fixed, but I have a bunch of other ideas I want to try before I 
post again.

*I fixed the bug without understanding why.  I might also try to isolate 
the behavior and see what you all can make of it.  It involved the slope 
pattern not working as expected for the y direction when converted to a 
function.
