Hello dear Povray programmers!

Is there a possibility to add in POV3.5 a new feature, like blurred glas
in the refraction or ior funktion, as the same with the blurred
reflections?

Thanks and regards !

First, this is the wrong place for this kind of post. This group 
(povray.beta-test.binaries) is for binary posts relating to bug reports 
in povray.beta-test about the POV-Ray 3.5 beta.
Second, the POV-Team is no longer taking any feature requests for 3.5. 
It is fairly late along in the beta portion of its cycle, the time for 
feature additions is long past.

And finally, you can already do blurred reflection and refraction. Just 
make an averaged texture of several similar textures with the only 
differences being the normals. It is also more flexible, you can use 
this technique to similate different shapes of microscopic bumps and 
grooves. There have been many, many threads and long discussions on this 
subject, I suggest you read the more recent threads here:
