Something I intend to do soon is to implement a method of weathering more
arbitrary meshes, using the same parameters as my macros. I'm going to try it
out for my current stony WIP. It will involve a 2-step process - firstly, a
small external program to convert, e.g., .obj files to an intermediate format,
then a POV macro to read the vertices and apply the weathering via pigments.
The end result will be exactly the same as the meshrelief macros - a ready-to
use mesh2 that can also be saved in a .inc file.

It strikes me that this could be useful for your capitals. I'll post some
results as I get them...

PS I'm with the others, the example you posted is superb. ;-)
