I'm sorry, but I can't make any sense of this at all. My level of expertise
with povray is very low, having relied  mostly on Moray to do the script
writing for me. Here's my sample pov file:

light_source {
  0*x
  color rgb <1,1,1>
  translate <-20, 40, -20>
}
camera {
  location  <0.0, 2.0, -5.0>
  look_at   <0.0, 0.0,  0.0>
  right     x*image_width/image_height
}

#declare ObjectOrg = object{
sphere {
  <0, 0, 0>
  0.01 color rgb<1,1,1>
}

 }

#declare iterations=300;
#local Object = ObjectOrg;
#declare Count = 1;
#while (Count<iterations)
  #local Object = union{
    object{ ObjectOrg }
    object{ Object scale 1.04 translate .01*Count}
  }
  #local Count = Count + 1;
#end

Could you please tell me why it renders just blackness?
