More Refractions from the Light Globe series.
I'm getting completely carried away with these, but I'm endlessly mesmerized
by the beauty of the simple refraction of light. Most are impossible
objects, with impossible IORs or negative internal reflections or unnatural
materials, that seem to obey the laws of physics from another realm.
Of all the means of computer-generated visualization, what always makes POV
so unique for me is that it enables a kind of hyper sense of realism
of a reality that does not exist. Photographs of impossibilities.

I love them, and I agree with you!
Would you mind to share the code with us, poor wanderers in the dark? :-)

Hey, Thomas
I wouldn't consider you a "poor wanderer in the dark".
I posted some examples in povray.binaries.scene-files with a kind of
explanation of how I work. The individual scene files are actually less
helpful -- they're generally very simple -- than the method used to go from
one scene to the next. But I hope it helps. If you need a copy of my
"colors.inc", which is pretty unofficial, or the image map I use for the
ambient reflection I'd be glad to email them.

That is because you have only seen me in the light! :-)

That is perfect. Thank you very much. It is sheer curiosity at the start, I
know, but it often leads to interesting uses in some scene or other.
