Nice, but think this machine would be thrashing the swap file with that
scene, povray!

I don't know if those lobe-shaped stones look real though... and what are
those strange speckled patches on the sand? Totally transparent stones,
coincident with the ground, maybe? I suppose both of these effects could be
intentional.. the lobed stones remind my of an X-files episode, where
Mulder finds a pair of intersecting coins.

I've worked out how easy it is to place my IsoStones on an isosurface, but I
haven't got the look quite right yet.
