Hi.
Do you mean the dark parts on the water surface? If so, this may been
caused by the waves.
Indeed, my air cylinder has the same side as the inner walls of the
habitat cylinder, but you cannot see those inner walls, as the landscape
cylinder and water cylinder are smaller and thus cover the habitat
cylinder inside walls all over.

Oh gosh. And an emitting long bar would be soooo good to simulate a long
fluorescent light source. Well, I will keep it for now this way. Who
knows, maybe some smart programmer will add such possibility (media
supporting emitting surfaces) to the next version of POV-Ray..? O:)

UPDATE
Just for now, see here a 10 meter wide four-lane road from just below
the middle axis construction, 100 m above the road, and 1.70m above the
road.
The hills range up to 100 m high.
I am not yet happy with the waves.
After that all has been fixed, I will start to work on the land texture.
Then there will be grass, and trees. Maybe some fields (though most of
the vegetables, fruits, and meat will be grown in vitro). Finally, then
I will work on the buildings.

I for one cannot see enough detail in your images to comment.
They are too small.
Incidently you really should quote, in your replies, who and what you
are replying to. IMO

Unlikely.
To UberPOV, maybe, as it would be a lot easier to implement in a
stochastic renderer.

I agree with Stephen; a good newsreader will present the thread as a
tree, but even then it is sometimes tedious to trace back what post
you're replying to. On the web interface it is virtually impossible, as
it just gives you a linear list of all the posts.

Is this wiki page wrong?

Yes (though I was, too):
- Yes, there is a hard limit to the number of light sources (which I
wasn't aware of).
- No, the limit is no longer 127(!) light sources as mentioned in the
wiki, but 1024.
Also, it may be interesting to note that the limit is only relevant if
you're using photons or media.

Couldn't it be possible to implement then a stochastic mode to POV-Ray,
so it can do the same things? But I admit, I am not sure what stochastic
means, will try to find out when I have a bit time. I just want to see
our great POV-Ray pushed to its limits (as some of its programmers)... :-D

Hmmm, will have to rethink my own position about that then. For my part,
I always dislike all that quoting. I thought I did a favor to you all
when I always deleted it. But okay, I can easily keep the quotations, no
problem. :-)
