Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting gaps in this ios surface.  I have
the following settings for this render:

     max_gradient 7
     accuracy .0001

I have set max gradient as high as 100 and accuracy as small as 1e-8 which
made for a very slow render of exactly what you see here.  I can post the
code if necessary.

Thanks,

J.F. Miller

I can't see anything that looks like conventional isosurface holes.
There are a few dark areas that look a bit like your transparent objects
might have exceeded your max_trace_level (not to be confused with
max_trace).

See if it looks any better with 

     global_settings {max_trace_level 10}
