Captain Obvious? Is it you?

Beleave me, the max_gradient is >9000, and povray complains when I set a
lower value. That's why I switched to the "evaluate" method, as
described on the Povray website that you copied unecessarily.

The render time differences are neglible.

Unfortunately neither you nor the Povray website gave me usable hints
which values might be sensible or how the "accuracy" value influences
the visual output of the rendering at all. :-(

If you give me the money we can talk about that, sure.

Do you have a ready-to-use software for that? (for Linux & Mac)
