Hi Shay

Thank you.

I guess you meant the bucky? No metal was used. I relied on PovGlue
(TM) to stop it falling apart. See attached.

The faces are simple. The various transforms involved had me beat for
a while tho' :-/

   merge{
      prism{ -FaceR, FaceR, 6,
     <Pa.x, Pa.z>, <Pb.x, Pb.z>, <Pc.x, Pc.z>,
     <Pd.x, Pd.z>, <Pe.x, Pe.z>, <Pa.x, Pa.z>
      }
      sphere{ Pa*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pb*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pc*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pd*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      sphere{ Pe*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pa*<1,0,1>, Pb*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pb*<1,0,1>, Pc*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pc*<1,0,1>, Pd*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pd*<1,0,1>, Pe*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      cylinder{ Pe*<1,0,1>, Pa*<1,0,1>, FaceR }
      //some transforms here
   }

I looked again at yor picture and realized why we misunderstood each other.
I was not asking how you formed the bucky, but rather what material you
used to form what appeared to me to be some type of solder betreen the
joints. I see now that the appearance of "solder" in an optical illusion
caused by reflections in your glass material.

Thank you, however, for taking the time to answer.

Try using a higher ambient value for the bulb itself. It doesn't really look
like a lightsource.

Will try that. This one was done with LCD monitor and it looks OK on
that, but the light looks very yellow on a crt.

OK, so maybe the battery power is getting low?  ;-)

Hi Alf,

It looks very nice.  Do you have a wallpaper version, something
like 1200x1200?
