Thanks, I am now thinking I need to model a child with a magnifying glass as I
already have the effect so I just need the cause.
People are way beyond my blob modelling skills though ;-)

Leave the mm_per_unit setting be; it should always match the actual
scale of the object.
Any effect that can be achieved by tweaking mm_per_unit can also be
achieved by tweaking the materials' translucency.

Thanks Paolo, still may add a few improvements to it yet and hoping to stop it
going into meltdown but experimenting with SSLT is time consuming ;-)

I think it is a great ant, for a fire ant. ;-)
Seriously great modelling.

Why you don`t adapt your gradient texture?
From my perspective, it's a povray prob (of sslt), not your adaption.
Personally speaking I always use gray colors for sslt, but I'm far of being
experienced like you... (I admire your starfish...)

Thanks Stephen, after my first attempt at modelling the ant I thought
maybe I should revisit Sculptris as it seemed like something I should be
doing with meshes. However, I like the challenge of just using SDL to
create images.

Thanks Norbert, you are selling yourself short I think but thanks for
the compliment. You could be correct regarding the cause though as it
seems to be related to the HDR part of the image.

This is starting to look like it is related to the HDR probe, if I just
use HDR the issue is present stil but if I switch off HDR and use a
regular light source (no other change to the scene) the SSLT effect is OK.

Have you tried a more blurred version of the light probe?
I wouldn't be surprised though if you were in the process of discovering
a bug in the integration of radiosity and SSLT; so if you don't mind
digging a bit more, you'd do me a great favor.
