sorry, there's another thing I noticed looking at the scene file I have and had
put here.
sturm keyword was left by itself in the first blob statement. Sturm was intended
to also have the #if directive line same as those for the pigment and density
statements.
Please be aware sturm needs to be left out for a cleaner render, otherwise you
will see bad artifacts.

On another note, I am trying a pre-declared instance of the blob statement and
using it as:

object
{
 Blob
}

to replace each full statement. You can easily do the same by cutting and
pasting the first blob {...} portion and #declare Blob= blob {...}

This will work like before, no problem here with:

potential {object{Blob}}
