Thanks YB, it's all just layered textures and materials.

Thanks Bill, I can't help myself, I just get drawn back into POV-Ray sometimes.
I love the clarity of creating art with code.

Hah hah, I had a couple sets of Clackers when I was a kid, but they were
outlawed after shards of Clacker blinded some people (yikes!).

Reminds me of a 1970s Yoko Tsuno comic, "The Three Suns of Vinea"...

I would love to have the script to create the background. Could be a good
starting point for the atmosphere of a gas giant (planet like Jupiter).
Doesn't have to be an executable script, a texture or whatever that is would be
helpful.
Greetings,

Very well done Robert! Gorgeous textures too.
I don't know why, but I have the impression that we are divint into
quantum space... (must be my books at the moment on the subject) ;-)

It's not just a texture.
Minimum code :
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------
camera { location <40, 0, 0> up y right x*image_width/image_height
look_at <0, 0, -10> angle 36 }
light_source { <40, 7, 0> color (y+z)*0.5 }
light_source { <36, 7, -16> color (x+z)*0.8 }
light_source { <36, 0, 16> color (x+y)*0.5 }
sphere {
<0,0,0>, 50
pigment { wrinkles poly_wave 2 scale 20 turbulence 0.50 }
finish { emission 0.30 diffuse 0.70 reflection 0.5 brilliance 4
specular 0.60 roughness 0.005 }
normal { wrinkles 2 no_bump_scale scale 20 turbulence 0.50 }
}
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Have a good time...
