I think I like the monochrome blue/gray image a bit better. Not sure why it is,
but it might be that the lack of different pigments draws attention to the
physical surface, rather than color ...

Okay Bill, I just couldn't resist trying a few takes on your great idea. Here's
one from this lazy Saturday afternoon. Thanks for bringing that site to my
attention, I have a few ideas - I love spheres.

As long as the pattern hasn't been drastically non-uniformly scaled, I find the
mismatch unnoticeable. I should add that I had this technique in mind when I
first started coding the macro - very handy!

Nice! That's a great rock texture. I guess you didn't need to see my code after
all then.. :)

I agree, that first reddish one was a little busy. I've honed it a bit more and
I think it looks much better, although I may yet change the colour again. See
other image post...

New version, more grass. I'm quite happy with the eroded/flat colour transition
now, although I might try some other colours at some point. The grass is
definitely not finished yet, needs to be less vivid, with more dead blades and
in a greater variety of sizes. Some of the tussocks appear to be floating over
the cracks, too.
Getting there, though.

The grass add some more touch of realism to the background.
Just a question: it seems to grow normal to the bricks, such as the
gravity center would be at the cgsphere position. Is an intended effect?

Looks like any number of old sidewalks in San Diego. :-)

hmmmm, wonder if, as an option, the triangles could be colored from the
deforming pattern when they are created?
