Hi clipka,
I had to travel early the next morning too - I was very tired by the time I got
back last night! I see your offer and, yes, I would very much like to see an
attempt to integrate these features in POVRay.

I tried another image with the "noise balls" idea - 3D objects defining volumes
over which functions are active. I used 5 instances of Dave Blandston's recently
posted star object to contain the wrinkles function and make an outward imprint
in a thin box. Further, I used a slight modified/bucketized version of the
overall isosurface function to control a color map.

Regards, Bill P.
