I'm trying to render the simili-glow example
posted by Warp in povray-beta-binaries two days ago.
It crashes Povray beta 1 (type 2 error) right
after the image is finished : the output file is
written on disk, but the job terminaison sound is 
not yet played.
Rendering settings are set to "Default". I have 
tried both PICT and PNG output file format, the
crash occurs for both. 

Hope this helps,
Stephane.



Here is Warp's glow code :

------------------------------------------

#macro Glow(GlowColor, Scale)
  sphere
  { 0, 1 hollow no_shadow
    pigment { rgbt 1 }
    interior
    { media
      { emission 1/Scale
        density
        { spherical density_map
          { [0 rgb 0][.5 rgb GlowColor*.5][1 rgb 1]
          }
        }
        samples 1,1 intervals 1 confidence .1 // quite fast settings
        method 3
      }
    }
    scale Scale
  }
#end

camera { location -z*10 look_at 0 angle 35 }
plane { y,-2 pigment { checker rgb 1, rgb .5 } }

light_source
{ <-1.5,1,0>, <1,.5,0>
  looks_like { Glow(<1,.5,0>, .5) }
}
light_source
{ <2,.5,0>, <0,.5,1>
  looks_like { Glow(<0,.5,1>, 1) }
}
