I've added some more detail to my bas relief of "INDUSTRY" for the Palace. 
I still want to detail the factory, but that should be fairly simple.

Three views attached: A neutral light viewing of the new, improved, panel, 
an overview of the Palace as it currently stands (with new plaza and third 
floor), and a detail view of the bas relief using the model lighting (a 
little too subtle for me. I think I'll have to use some textures to enhance 
it a bit.).

There are a total of 5 panels. I'm going to use stars for the first and 
last, and INDUSTRY accounts for one of the remaining three. For the others, 
I'm considering POLITIK and MILLITARY. I think that one of the MegaPov 
depth post-process may come in handy for generating some of the 
heightfields.

This is fun!

That is just amazing. I love the second image. Beautiful! :)

A grime shader would bring out the detail in a natural looking way.
Basically the color should get darker on concave areas where there is a 
large normal variance over a sampled area. You could limit this to normals 
within a certain range of "up" if you with to simulate the fallout of 
pollution collecting in surface details. 

Has anyone done this in POV yet?

A gradient layered texture would do that, somewhat anyway.

And it also looks like fun.  I've been watching along the way.

It already seems as if it's finished it will look great on a really large
render.  How much memory does it take right now?

Have you an example or a URL for such a method?
I am still learning to translate into POV. :o)

Thanks I will have a play with that. I gather that any detail that is cut 
to a certain depth exposes a darker part of the pigment, thus emulating 
dirt accumulation in all grooves of sufficient depth.

The problem is that grime deposits are normal variance dependent.
How can I have a texture in POV that is dependent on a calculation 
involving it's normal in relation to surrounding normal values?

Must I use POVMan and a renderman style shader?

Yep, it's just a simple layered texture trick.

Since I'm almost positive official POV-Ray 3.1 has no ability to follow only
normals with patterns in any way that's probably a safe bet.  I just never
have used POVMan.  Although... MegaPOV does have a surface slope pigment
pattern, and also a post_process which can follow surface contours.  Has
trace() too.
BTW, I kind of lost track whether that bas relief remained as normals only
or were turned to CSG.  If only normals I'm uncertain if MegaPOV alone could
do anything then.
Anyone might know better than I do anyhow.

This image illustrates a 'dust' texture I developed for my image in the
Worship round (tgq1984) of the IRTC.  Obviously the image on the left has
the dust applied while the one on the right does not.  The dust texture was
made using the MegaPOV slope pattern.
