Df and Cf climates close to D suck! I prefer Csa... and, luckily, global 
warming will bring the Mediterranean to Cologne!

See you in Khyberspace!

This makes me wonder if you could get the illusion of a full-color image 
by having three spirals - one red, one green and one blue - that are 
separate but which spiral out together.

I'm sure it's possible, although it would need some sort of value
inversion somewhere.  A naive application would have, say, redder
(lighter) areas with a thicker (darker) line.  One quick, if somewhat
goth, fix would be to just have a black background.

P.S. I believe this is our first direct communication, so let me take
this opportunity to thank you for DKBTrace and POV-Ray.

I'm happy that I've been able to play a part in this project.  It's been 
a fun ride and still a source of pride for me.

Spheres and cones, actually.  My macro calls SphereSweep from the Object
Collection, and on the quoted post I wasn't thinking about how
SphereSweep did its job.

I was planning to wean my macro off SphereSweep, but then it occurred to
me that a sudden change in color might be too drastic a change in sphere
sizes to connect with a cone.  I'm talking degenerate cone and square
root of a negative number parse errors here.  SphereSweep handles these
complications automatically, so I'm just going to keep it as a prerequisite.

Sorry for not posting here earlier; I was totally absorbed in running camera
'normal' experiments.

Hmm, I don't remember posting those images, although they look like the
experiments you and I did in my long-ago post (the one that Yadgar referenced).
Perhaps from a different 'Kenneth'? I searched all of the image posts for 2008
and didn't see another fellow by that name. TWO users named Kenneth??
Impossible! :-P

Anyway...I really like these spiral experiments. I was thinking about the
earlier suggestion of somehow using the technique to reproduce a full-color
photo-- perhaps by making separate spirals of the image's 3 separate color
channels (with the spirals colored red/green/blue), but having different
spacings or gaps between the spirals so that they sort of 'blend together' in
the viewer's eye. I haven't thought this through in detail, though. By using
different spiral 'frequencies? Maybe it's not possible geometrically.

It's quick and dirty, but here it is, 3 spirals, one red, one green and 
one blue:
