Hi,

I'm trying to use povray to display some scientific data. I have the
concentration of a drug (as its released from a nanoparticle) as a function
of x,y and z coordinates. I was trying to display it as a kind of mist. I
originally tried to have lots of transparent boxes (for each grid point)
and make them absorb light depending on the concentration. However, I
seemed to be getting diffraction-like patterns emerging, presumably from
the edges of all the boxes stacked together (although I don't know how as
povray doesn't include diffraction). So I tried to use merge to collect all
the boxes together, but now povrays ground to a halt.

Am I trying to display this data in a really stupid way? Does anyone know a
better way of doing this?
