I think you'll be fine.
A lot of stuff was thrown at you all at once.
Voronoi / Delaunay is NOT an easy thing to do from scratch - which is why Sam
Benge used an external program to generate his data set.
Pov-ray's crackle pattern is essentially a Voronoi diagram, and you can use it
to make a pattern, or pass it to an isosurface as a function, to get "real 3d"
shapes.
I'd start with the spheres like you're doing, and then you can get a working
scene, and practice with POV-Ray's SDL syntax, and programming logic.


No worries - it'll be ok   ;)
