What about blobbed spheres filling a given csg form? Do a looped
random_inside (I think that's what it's called, I don't have time to look
it up now) of blob elements. It ought to give you something like that
texture. As far as getting the slightly goofy shapes, a hand-made mesh
might be pull-offable. Or maybe a macro that places mesh points around a
spline, for the text... hmmm. I'd be happy to try it, BUT it's November -
so I have a novel to write first. Maybe at christmastime.
