Abstracts are nice, especially those true to the motto "reduction to the
essentials".
Here I variated a nice scene of Christian Perle (
http://chris.silmor.de/ray/POVImgs2.html ).
Essential here is a max_trace_level higher than 5.

Code is short enough to show it here -

That is beautiful! And thank you for the introduction to Christian Perle. I
haven't come across his stuff before.

Cheers,

Simon.

Very nice.
I have a question : Why set those IORs? There is no transparency and no 
fresnel reflection, so, nothing were the ior can have any effect.

Now, let render this with fresnel turned ON or with some transparency.

Ha - very smart Alain,

you caught me...
Fresnel lets the iridescence disappear - and iridescence is the second
essential.
Here's another image of Christian Perle (with revised code, I hope).

Hi Simon,

there are so many unknown sources...
When I worked on a special topic (my 3000 materials project), I stressed Google
with literally thousands of different queries around new *.pov sources. So I
came across Christians homepage.
Perhaps this is another interesting homepage -
https://karczmarczuk.users.greyc.fr/TEACH/Imagerie.old/POV/ .


Cheers,

Norbert

What?
It shouldn't do that.

Then - try this replacement of the terminal part of code in message 1.
You will recieve pure dark grey (rgb 0.05).
