That would make a cool animated eclipse!

The one on the left could be further modified to produce some nice crater
impacts.

Hmmm, an animation could be nice, the spheroid slowly breaking up.

Using a scripting language for a ray-tracer means that puts in sliders that only
go from 0 to 1. Many values in POV-Ray can be set for the extreme.

Here's some abstraction animations, if you've not seen them before. It's mostly
a play with extreme focal blur combined with "bad" render settings:

Wow. Your first grayscale image (AND the colorful version) are really nice; they
remind me of hand-drawn charcoal sketches...just about the best I have ever seen
(from POV-ray or from *any* typical paint program, with its various 'artistic
filters'.) These images would make great science-fiction book cover
illustrations, as Bald Eagle mentioned. I am amazed that you were able to put
together some code to create such abstract and organic-looking ART.
Congratulations!

Don't lose or override the code settings for these two!  ;-)

Very interesting, I like 0, A, C, f, M, and z. Colors and movements area
very smooth, guess they need some ambient music by Brian Eno like here:

Some of them looks like particles in my 'Fetch' scene:

I've included your scene in Povlab (1280x720 takes 7.7 sec):

and now playing with it.

Just for info:

Sorry yesbird, I did not realize that the color version was your variation.
Nicely done! Both versions are really inspiring.

I need to get some time to play with the various versions of the code here, to
see what pops out.

I am only following Ingo's genius and can't stop playing
with his toy :).

Try this service, it can save a lot of time:

Sergei, I've been meaning to ask you - do you have a method to upload image maps
for use in renders?   Maybe some sort of "email attachment" style mechanism,
perhaps to a directory that gets wiped with cron job every N hours?

Or maybe a FIFO replacement system?
