It is an asteroid generator, with a set of generated asteroids,(nine) for if you can't run it, for instance. It uses povray and is inspired by this blogpost. If you can't run it, and just want a few more, they can be generated and mailed.

There are a bunch of variables, but of course, you can also just change the code if you want something more than the variables provide. The variables are stored in `the_png.png.info` files.

The asteroids come with a alpha channel, something that was missing on the planets, add `+UA` in the call to povray to run that version with alpha.(That is a good commandline argument to know!)

Change the texture a bit and you'll have a potato generator. ;)

Nice work!

Now there's a band name: The potato asteroids

Hey Jasper,

thanks for your asteroids, they look really great! 

Do you think it is possible to output the asteroids with a more generic lighting and with the (normal) bump map also? The goal would be to simulate a 3D effect while rotating the asteroids in a game. 

I tried it with a more generic light source in the pov script and a plugin for GIMP to retrieve the normal map, but the result doesn't look very good. 

Greetings
