The regularity is being worked on indeed.

Yes.. to me, at first it seemed to be pondering about purchasing the
ship, now it seems to be thinking "I know this guy, but I can't remember
his name...". ;)

Looking better and better.
There is a place called Sudak in Ukraine. It has a Genoese fortress on
a headland to one side of a bay where a small town and harbour are under
its protection / control.
Very similar to your location and style.
Keep it up!

I googled the place and indeed it is. Fascinating those /close encounters/.

I will! I will!

I seem to have seen this before.
1) What is causing these /nice/ rows? becoming visible when I increase
the number of plants? They were already present in the original image
but less conspicuous.
2) And why do they not correspond to the eval_pigment function selection
(black corresponding to the inter-stone area)?
3) No difference with noise_generator 2 or 3.

This example, with patchiness, illustrates a bit more question 2.

Difficult to say without the code... do you use totally random point's
over the floor to evaluate the pigment?

Yes, flat distribution. I either used rand, RRand, or Vrand_In_Box, with
identical results.
I have now found that eval_pigment is the culprit. I probably need to
rotate by 90*x the used image_map before testing the locations.

Lunch was the trigger :-)
I have made the mistake before: forgetting to rotate an image_map by 90
degrees around the x-axis before using it in a scene. As a consequence,
eval_pigment did not do its job correctly.
This is now corrected (see image).

Ah... now makes sense: you were evaluation the side of the image,
which is usually a bunch of lines... ;)
