Hi,

I'm new to POVRay and am struggling with something. Is there a way to create
rolling hills if you have specific X/Y coordinates where you want the tops
of
the hills and the lowest points of the troughs to be? I'd also like to make
them specific heights and want the surface to smoothly transition from each
peak to each trough and on to the next hill or trough. I've been looking at
Isosurface object, but I dont think that's what I'm after as it seems one
needs to be able to generate the entire surface with a single formula.

The number of coordinates per plane, their location and the height for the
hill/trough at each location will vary and are from an external source. I
plan to write a perl script that generates pov code to create the image
which is then rendered periodically.

Thanks for any help!

Mark.
