Hi Fabien,

Yes, you're absolutely right with halos, but what's the matter with
the glass textures???

>I understand your point, but do you often re-work on older scenes ?

From time to time I have to rerender older scenes. I don't want to
rework them, that's the point - but with scenes containing glasses, I
have to do it.

I don't share your opinion in keeping all older POV-Ray versions.
Especially if the step from one version to another is < 0.1.

Bye,
Friedemann
