The scene took the entire night up to now for rendering, but I discover
two problems and think, it could be caused by programming.

DEFINITE 1ST ERROR
I have a blob, and work with regular (positive) values, but on a few
locations also with negative values. And these negative values seem to
give a problem: around their edges are holes or black areas (holes or
not covered with texture).

POSSIBLE 2ND ERROR
I believe that there is a 2nd problem: while all other areas of the ship
hull follow the texture's FINISH declarations, it seems the blob does
not: the low-light areas should have been almost black, but are gray. My
FINISH declarations use an alpha value for textures of 0.0, but it seems
here that 0.0 is not accepted or it is overwritten.
