Good news. These post-processing open a "realm of new opportunities" as they
say in commercials. This picture couldn't have been made without Megapov, and
I hope that it will be possible to render it in POV 3.5.
About the antialiasing, it was not such a problem here : in fact the bad
antialiasing could have been solved by using more demanding aa parameters.  I
had more trouble with the fact that focal blur is not totally compatible with
the "continue trace" option, since that means that the image had to be
rendered in one pass, or in several determined ones, but could not be aborted
without losing part of the blurring info. Right now, I'm not sure about
rendering a larger version: should I render smaller parts and glue them
together at the end, or should I wait for Megapov 0.5 and be able to abort and
resume the trace whenever I need it ?
