Mar 13, 2013 at 17:00 comment added JOwen @belisarius Yes I was afraid of being asked that. I mean better in the sense of "more similar to the style seen in the book (e.g. in the Flickr images I linked to)". Of course, I expect since you are asking, that this is will not be precise enough! I can say what aspects of the style I'm having trouble replicating though. For instance, the combination of lighting and "salt-and-pepper" noise I am using doesn't get the quite the right density distribution of points. They should get much thicker at the edges, and be more sparse in the interior (at least for the sphere).
