Well, there are different goals at different stages.

The first goal was to rapidly get a very nice looking render with the Granite_21
material to show off POV-Ray's textures and the potential for
near-photorealistic render quality.

The second is to poke around the mesh and examine whatever features may present
themselves, given that we have a very high quality mesh, and the tools to play
with normals, lighting, signal processing, trace (), and anything else you can
think of.

Here's a sort of uv-unwrapped render of the outer and inner surfaces, done with
trace (), 2 arrays, and 4 million triangles.  I still need to correct the
scaling and positioning of the lower color_map.  <eyroll>
