There is a small bug in chess2.pov
(scenes\advanced\chess2.pov) :
the ear of the knight had been cut.
correction:
union {
plane { y, 0
rotate -45*z
}
plane { y, 0
rotate 45*z
}
translate 9*y
}
instead of:
union {
plane { y, 0
rotate -45*y
}
plane { y, 0
rotate 45*z
}
translate 9*y
}
in the definition of the Knight.
(Because rotating a y-plane around y is really a non-sense)

It's always been cut off. It would seem a shame to fix it now :)

I never knew whether it was intentional or not, only that I just had to give
it a second ear back when I was still using version 2.2. Not sure anymore
what it takes to change it, seems it was rather simple though. Something
like a cylinder which cuts across the top of the head is off to one side.
I just pretended it was meant to be one ear down and one up, but I seriously
wonder if it was really unintentional. Guess we'll never know that because
I tried to locate the author and never heard from him.

If it's an error, then it's a historical one, and thus worth preserving.

Oh, Come on...
it's an obvious typo, typing 'y' instead of 'z' for the rotate
of one of the y plane.
If the intend was really to NOT have two ears,
why bother having a silly rotate ?
Or is the missing ear a kind of hidden watermark, just like cartographers do:
adding a false information on purpose, well hidden in the mass of the
street names and road connections,
so that they can easily spot the bad guy(*) who ripe their works ?
(And then sue him with a full mob of lawyers...)
(*): PC: ...spot the bad girl who... ...then sue her with...

If it is, the more reason for not changing it. :)

Make a variable in the start of the scene file where the user can switch on
and off the error... :)

Just looked at chess2.pov and I see now what Jerome means; don't know how I
remembered it as an offset cylinder, was way off about that.
It sure does look like a typo to me, it probably really should be changed
then. Afterall, Dan Farmer made changes (BTW check that Cchanged typo out
under Dan's name).
The Knight currently has:
union {
plane { y, 0
rotate -45*y // and this should be changed to *z
}
plane { y, 0
rotate 45*z
}
translate 9*y
}
It really is obvious. Could we at least say it gets changed if half a dozen
(or however many) people agree?

This will probably require an official ruling from the POV-Team.

IMO if it's 100% definitely wrong, then it should be fixed.
