When using occlusion, its megapov 1.21 It has the "projection" pattern.

Just define all objects to one name, then use the name as object and project it
to it self, using "normal on" and "blur 1,samples" on it.

Should looking like this:

#declare All=object{
#while (looking for all your objects)
#include them
#end
}
(ok, that's a little symbolic)

then

Object {
All
pigment{projection{object{All} normal on blur 1,64}}
finish{ambient 1}
or
finish{reflection 0.5 ambient 0.5}
}
The 64 are the samples use about 5 for testing and 32-64 for the final one.

When using blurry reflection, I'm using megapov 0.6! *Not* the new one. Instead
of the projection pattern, I use the "proximity" pattern.

When nothings work, use mc-pov!
