Hi(gh)!
Perhaps once more a stupid beginner's mistake (after 16 years of
POVing... it's just humiliating!): I'm just not able to place a text
object (within an object pigment pattern) on a box tilted by 30 degrees
around the x axis!
Here is the code:
#declare Display_Card_Rounding=
cylinder
{
0, <0.1, 0, 0>, 0.0015
}
#declare Display_Card_Panel=
box
{
0, <0.1, 0.03, 0.003>
}
#declare Display_Card=
union
{
union
{
object { Display_Card_Rounding }
object { Display_Card_Panel translate <0, 0, -0.0015>}
translate <0, 0.0015, 0>
rotate <30, 0, 0>
}
union
{
object { Display_Card_Rounding }
object { Display_Card_Panel translate <0, 0, -0.0015>}
translate <0, 0.0015, 0>
rotate <-30, 0, 0>
translate <0, 0, 2*(0.0315*cos(radians(60))+0.0015*sin(radians(60)))>
}
difference // Display card top
{
cylinder { 0, <0.1, 0, 0>, 0.003 }
plane { y, 0 rotate <30, 0, 0> }
plane { y, 0 rotate <-30, 0, 0> }
translate <0, 0.0315*sin(radians(60))-0.0015*cos(radians(60)),
0.0315*cos(radians(60))+0.0015*sin(radians(60))>
}
}
#declare N_Brushed=
normal
{
granite
bump_size 0.5
turbulence 10
scale <1, 0.001, 0.001>
}
#declare F_Metallic_Low_Ref =
finish
{
diffuse 1
brilliance 0.7
specular 1
roughness 0.001
reflection 0.05
metallic
}
#declare T_Brushed_Aluminium=
texture
{
pigment { color rgb 0.6 }
finish { F_Metallic_Low_Ref }
normal { N_Brushed }
}
object
{
Display_Card
texture { T_Brushed_Aluminium }
texture
{
pigment
{
object
{
text
{
ttf "/media/disk1part9/fonts/lucon.ttf"
"T_Stone1", 0.001, 0
scale 0.01
translate <0, 0.01, 0>
rotate <30, 0, 0>
}
color rgbf 1
color rgb 0
}
}
}
}
// end of code
All I ever get is an empty aluminium panel (see attachment)... what goes
wrong?
See you in Khyberspace!

The text object you use for the pigment pattern is extremely thin (0.001
scaled by 0.01 = 0.00001), and not close enough to the surface you want
to texture.
You apparently want to attach it to the z=0 surface of the
Display_Card_Panel that, in total, undergoes the following transformations:
translate <0, 0, -0.0015>
translate <0, 0.0015, 0>
rotate <30, 0, 0>
You have to apply all of these to you text object (it seems you forgot
the first one) after the scaling, /plus/ a translation before the
scaling so that the z=0 plane lies entirely inside the text object (to
avoid coincident surface problems), i.e.:
text
{
ttf "/media/disk1part9/fonts/lucon.ttf"
"T_Stone1", 0.001, 0
translate <0, 0, -0.0005>
scale 0.01
translate <0, 0, -0.0015>
translate <0, 0.01, 0>
rotate <30, 0, 0>
}
