broken heart.

Tried going for a broken glass (crystal?) look, doesn't look quite
right though, a bit too ragged.

It also needs more tweaking, its a far too bright.

ps. I seem to be addicted to glass and photons, is there a support
group for this :-)

Looks like a genatinous form of mercury.  The bottom of the heart
should be pointy.

the main shape of hart is not correct, their is AFAIR a mathematical 
funciton for it (as isosurface) in funcitons.inc (f_heart ?)

;)

btw. count/spacing is far to low. What settings did You use, what was ther 
render time / on with CPU+RAM ?

I like the shape as it is, wasn't aware that there are 'rules' about these
things :)   I tried the the isosurface heart shape, but it kept rendering
with a line/flaw across the middle, that I could not seem to get rid of.
Beside this shape ( 1/2 a torus, and 2 spheres) renders 'somewhat' faster.

I noticed that too, for this render I think I used 'count 1000000' it took
around 2.5 hours on a P4 1.7ghz, 256mb ram, while I was busy with some
other work (@ work).

I hope to eventually get around to rerendering this on my home pc, Athlon
1.4ghz, 768mb ram. (then I can push the count way higher)

well I thought that this problem was removed :-/

no doubt ;) Another IMHO good suggestion - blob. I made quite nice heart 
with it some time ago.

POV realy ensures me I *have* to buy 512 ram ;)

Of course :-)

Glue can mend just about anything, for everything else there's
duct-tape :)

The first thing I tought of when seeing it is that it looks more like a
kidney than a heart... the bottom portion should be pointier, not as round
as it is right now.
(Just look at a playing card or something for a reference)
