I'd still like to experiment with this. It could be a very nice  
addition to the stuff I've already made, although I doubt whether it  
would be suitable on its own. The images that I've seen thus far,  
however, are very small and aliased, though. Maybe that can be solved  
simply by making a gigantic texture and then downscaling it.
