Rendering (PBR)
http://news.povray.org/povray.off-topic/thread/%3Cop.x0kk32qvufxv4h%40xena%3E/

and the /rules/ given by Clipka, this is an RSoCP following the said 
rules and rendered with UberPOV.

Scene file can be found in povray.binaries.scene-files.

I think you're doing /something/ wrong there.

Um... you're /not/ following the rules /at all/:

	sphere {
	  <0,0,0>, 1.00
	  texture {
	    pigment {srgb <0.8, 0.7, 0.7>*0.5 }
	    finish {
	      diffuse albedo 0.8
	      brilliance 3, 3
	      reflection {
	        0.0, 1.0
	        //roughness 0.001
	        //fresnel on
	        //metallic on
	      }
	      fresnel on
	      metallic on
	    }
	  }
	  interior { ior 1.5 }
	
	  scale <1,1,1>  rotate <0,0,0>  translate <0,1.35,0>
	}

You're using "metallic on" in the entire finish block, but not in the 
reflection block. That's bad bractice. /Very/ bad practice.

Also, "fresnel on" has no effect (or at least shouldn't have) when used 
together with "metallic on". And as I'm already at it, always use 
"fresnel on" in the reflection block when you use it in the entire 
finish block. It doesn't carry through to the reflection automatically.

Furthermore, I'll probably need to add more rules:

- Do not use "diffuse" for metallic materials (or, more specifically, 
use "diffuse 0.0" to override the non-zero default). Use specular 
reflection with a very high roughness instead. To also add crisper 
highlights to the mix, use complex textures.

Why am I not surprised? ;-)

Ah! Yes, I don't know why I switched it off. I had a reason initially 
which I have forgotten now :-/

I had not paid enough attention to the (mutual) exclusion of fresnel and 
metallic (RTFRules!). Forgot also to add conserve_energy.

Good one about diffuse and complex textures. My scene is simple because 
I wanted to start from the 'basic scene' in the Insert Menu.

Four images are attached with variations in the parameter use (see their 
corresponding titles).

sphere {
   <0,0,0>, 1.00
   texture {
     pigment {srgb <0.8, 0.7, 0.7>*0.5 }
     finish {
       diffuse albedo 0.0
       specular albedo 0.5
       roughness 0.001
       brilliance 3, 3
       reflection {
         0.0, 1.0
         roughness 0.001
         fresnel on
         metallic off
       }
       fresnel on
       metallic off
     }
   }
   interior { ior 1.5 }

   scale <1,1,1>  rotate <0,0,0>  translate <0,1.35,0>
}

Don't worry, that's only relevant for transparent objects.

Now what did I say about the specular and reflection brightness settings?!

Use "specular albedo N" where N is the same as the maximum reflection. 
That's what I said.

Need a hearing aid, hm? :P

What did you say? I don't hear you! ;-)

The thing is, I read what you write and it just doesn't impact where it 
should: "Use "specular albedo N" where N is the maximum reflection 
intensity"; clear enough one should say, except for me of course.

Oh, well...

I'm pondering adding a mode where POV-Ray will automatically issue a 
warning whenever it finds inconsistencies in the settings.

I guess I'll start every such warning message with "Thomas, I told 
you..." :P

Good idea! ;-)

I have a problem reading from screen. Reason I never use e-books for 
example.

Then I'll have to make it an audible warning? :P
