Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way of producing blur effects on a pigment 
(procedural or image map). I have been playing with the turbulence warp 
and got close results using the code below with image maps.

warp{
          turbulence <0.5,0.5,0.5>*0.005
          octaves 6
          omega 1.5
          lambda 50
         }

Unfortunately it requires quite a strong anti-aliasing setting for 
acceptable results. It works better if colors are not too dissimilar. I 
know that for image maps I can take it into a graphics editor and blur 
the image but I would like to know if there is a proven method of 
blurring pigments that can be done within POV-Ray. Specially if the 
pigment is procedural.

Other variations of the warp above are useful for weathering effects on 
pigments.

later,
