I haven't used povray since 1998. Today, in 2020, I started again.
Besides I never got a chance to use radiosity until now.
This rendering makes good use of three features: variable fresnel
reflection, which provides the specular highlight without using the
phong or specular keywords; multiple (8) area lights, which provide the
soft shadows and just a little bit of noise; and the Radiosity_Final
settings, which provide illumination of the indirectly lit areas.
Without these features the image would not have turned out the way I
wanted it to. It also renders in 3 minutes, which is pretty fast.

Hey, that's not before my time as a POVghan (started in 1995), but well
before my first activities on povray.binaries.images (in autumn of 2000)!

Absolutely lovely - and photo-realistic! What hardware did you use?
See you in Khyberspace!

Heh, I've been a POV user since 1993, but been posting here in the news groups
only since 2011 (although I've been reading these forums for a good 20 years or
so too). :D

Thanks for the comments. My PC is not that great. It has an i7-860 CPU
(from 2009) and 8GB of memory.

I've only got a Dell Inspiron i5-2410 (from 2011), and used to use a tiny little
Acer.
I would try upgrading to POV-Ray version 3.8 to see if it works any better or
the output is different, as there have been many fixes and changes.
Beautiful scene - did you model the golf balls from scratch?

I once had a program to even spaces points, its was slow, not even compiled.
This image of course made me wonder how. Apparently there are 3 methods that can
be calc'd, not looped into place.

I started in 1997 iirc and did not post until 2000-2001. Still I
remember seeing your name in the posts back then. Welcome back!
