The isosurface in this scene has a plane cut out from it. The light source
is at the same location as the camera, so no shadows should be visible.
However, the isosurface seems to be showing shadows from the part of it that
has been off by the plane.
camera {
location <0,0,-8>
look_at .00001*y
}
light_source {
<0,0,-8>
rgb 1
}
#declare leopfunc = function {
pigment {
leopard
scale 1/5
warp {
turbulence .3
octaves 1
lambda 2
omega .8
}
}
}
intersection {
isosurface {
function {(abs(sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2)-3)-.1) + leopfunc(x,y,z).red*.5}
contained_by {
sphere {0,5}
}
pigment {rgb 1}
}
plane {<1,1,-.5>,0} // reversing normal and using "difference" doesn't work
either
pigment {rgb 1}
}

This bug, if it is in fact a bug, remains in beta 4.
BTW: Windows, 256 RAM, 900 mhz (not sure which processor off the top of my
head)... um, that should probably cover it...

Does CSG with isosurfaces still require the all_intersections keyword?

They're not shadows, they're holes. You're looking through the holes and
seeing the background. They happen to look black in this scene because
your background is black.
(1) Add "background {rgb <0,0,1>}" and almost all the "shadows"
disappear.
(2) Add "max_gradient 3" and the few remaining "shadows" also disappear.
I recommend explicitly setting a sensible max_gradient for all 3.5
isosurfaces.
(3) Add "max_trace 3" to render the whole of the surface. Max_trace is
required for all CSG operations involving isosurfaces.

By golly, they *are* holes. How strange. Because they're (a) the holes that
should be there, plus (b) holes that exactly mimic where i see other parts
of the isosurface when the plane is not cut out from it. (try rendering the
scene without the plane, and remember where peices of the isosurface are,
and then rerender the scene with the plane cut out, and you'll see that the
places where the peices used to be but aren't are now holes in other parts
of the isosurface hit by the same ray.)
Looking at it from the opposite side, however, doesn't show the extra holes
that I explained in (b). set background{rgb 1} and change the camera
location from <0,0,-15> to <0,0,15> and you'll see that those holes
disappear. If you then set the plane's normal from <1,1,-.5> to <1,1,.5>,
you'll see that new holes have been cut out on the side that we were
originally looking at.
I still think there's something strange here. I can render some images if
need be.

Hmm... I tried putting this in my isosurface and it gave me a bug, as
though it didn't recognize it, even though it was color coded...

Then it is no longer a supported keyword even though the editor recognizes
the token. There are few of those left over from the development stages of
the program.

Did you read my points (2) and (3) or just the bit about the background?
In particular point (3) makes a big difference to which parts of the
scene you're actually asking it to render when viewed from different
directions.
With all my three point's applied, I think you'll find that everything
behaves correctly.

all_intersections is still recognised here, beta-4.

Oh, alright, sorry, I misread "max_trace" as "max_trace_level". Max_trace
fixed it. But how come in CSG it tests for parts of the isosurface outside
of what has been cut off from the isosurface? Why doesn't it only test the
parts of the isosurface that have a chance of being visible?
