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?

Well, it just seems the easiest way to do it, and it stops the tussocks
intersecting the blocks too obviously. I have no problem leaving it this way,
especially as a) the grass is likely to stay small so it's not obvious, and b)
the slightly surreal feel is in keeping with the concept of the compo anyway.

They could, very easily. I have a feeling that the memory usage might go up
somewhat, however.

Grass, practically perfect. The colour looks more natural now, and the
distribution looks more even. I've gone back to blue-grey stone again, not sure
if it's the right colour though...

This looks nice. The grass looks convincing. However, if there is grass,
there should also be some dirt between the stones, otherwise, no grass would
grow :-)

Ooops, I posted the wrong image. This one is the latest version.

I have seen grass growing on stonework with almost no visible dirt, but you're
right I guess. FWIW this version doesn't look so bad in this regard.

Bill, I think this version looks great, the grass is very nice.
After I thought about the rule against changing the background I realized it's
just to make sure all the grids line up so there's a common frame of reference
for each image submitted. Regarding materials, etc, I don't think that matters
as long as the background matches the grid geometry.
So, while playing around with my own blocks-as-background scene I noticed that
my perspective was off just a bit, as compared to the CGSphere template grid.
It took me a lot of tweaking to get it to line up right. I looked at yours and
noticed the same problem. I an image of your blocks merged with the CGSphere
template image so you can easily see where the grids diverge. Once you fix that
you're good to go I think :)

I *attached* an image even...
Here's the original CGSphere template.

Bill, more concisely: you have 15 blocks showing from front to back (14.5
actually) - there should be only 14 blocks that fit EXACTLY into the view
plane.
