I created a structure from bicubic patches. I noticed that if I use a shiny
finish the reflected image is not smooth over the edges of the bicubic
patches. With a normal (red) pigment the object seems smooth, so there is no
reason why the reflection of a shiny surface should be broken.
I created the object manually, but I understand the nature of bicubic
patches and I am 99.9999% certain that the individual patches line up
smoothly.

I created the picture with the following code fragment. If needed I can
upload the complete code for "my_object" but for the sake of (starting) this
topic it may be confusing (its a list of patches with an even longer list of
3D coordinates).

object {
  my_object
  texture { Aluminum }
  // pigment { colour Red }
  rotate <0, 0, 90>
  translate <1, 0, 0>
  }

object {
  my_object
  // texture { Aluminum }
  pigment { colour Red }
  rotate <0, 0, 90>
  translate <0, -1, 0>
  }

I think uploading zipped complete scene in apropriate binary group not hurts
:-)

These graphics show how I defined the control points. In my opinion, the
resulting object should be nice smooth surface. However, ther is a clear
line between the bicubic-patches.

This message belongs to scene file:
"Possible bug in shiny bicubic-patch (11kb)" in povray.binaries.scene-files
and "Re: Possible bug in shiny bicubic_patch" in povray.general
