% For detailed comments with character savings tips, see that script.
% These have fewer ridges than the o.g. punkin.
% To make the math for 8 bumps work, change resolution so the simple colonop step is still .1.
[X,Y,Z]=sphere(160);
% Add secondary ridges to this pumpkin.
R=1+(-(1-mod(0:.1:16,2)).^2)/20+(-(1-mod(0:.2:32,2)).^2)/20;
% Make this squatter, and increase the dimple size at the top to better mimic this breed.
% New trick this time, use P=V syntax for name/value pairs to save 2 chars for the quotes.
% 2nd new trick, use 3 element color hex codes to save 3 chars per color.
% Less accurate colors, but close enough.

% Recycle the sphere coords for the stem.
