I’ve run into a problem using a large sphere_sweep. I get a horizontal, 
straight line artefact.
You can change the location of the artefact by raising or lowering 
either the camera location or look_at vector.
Happens in both ver 3.6 and 3.7
I posted the pov and ini files in povray.binaries.scene-files

Thanks for posting the scene and ini file. It looks like this is one of 
the sphere_sweep artifacts Christoph fixed in the updates for 
release/v3.8.0 and so too in the master (v3.8.1) branch.

Aside: this is the sort of artifact I've sometimes been able to 
ameliorate by using an odd number of pixels in a direction perpendicular 
to the artifact - trick works better at low resolutions. In this case an 
odd number of pixels vertically just changes to 3.7.0 artifact some...

Thanks for the quick reply, Bill. I am pleased that it might be a known 
artefact. It looks like the artefact we used to get with SORs when the 
view crossed the horizon.
I'll wait until

Maybe I should have said I was using ver 3.7.0. (I've yet to update my 
machine since I had a HDD crash.)

Aside 1
An odd number of pixels doesn't go well with some video codecs.


Aside 2
I was just interested in the 3d shape of the Hilbert curve.
When Maurice and his Blender team fix the Pov file importer. I will 
upload an obj file, if anyone is interested. Or if anyone is still using 
Bishop3D, a *.bsp one . I managed to import it into that. Oops! that's 
the exported file I uploaded but B3D and import it.
It is much easer for me to inspect it with an OpenGl display.

Well I couldn't wait ;) I downloaded 
povray-3.8.0-alpha.9475849-av541-Win64.7z

Nice one Christoph :)

Old bug that was present in version 3.5 and probably earlier.
Seems to have been fixed in the current beta, and maybe in UberPov.

I've not used it much since then.

It does. :-)

I compared the time taken to render the file and the 3.8 alpha is slower.

3.7.0 -  7m 11s
3.8 alpha -  8m 3s

Yes, the elimination of the sphere sweep artifacts was paid for in
sphere sweep performance.

As long as you know. I'm happy.
