as only parameters. If anyone tried something like this so far please tell
me so I can spare time!
Help with the media parameters to make the very thin lightrays visible is
also welcome.
Thanks

Perhaps you should have a look at my disco ball. It is probably quite
easy to convert it to a macro. At the time when I created the image,
Nathan's photon map patch didn't exist. That's why I included the
"virtual" spot light sources to get the reflected lights. Using Nathan's
patch this is now obsolete.
The scene uses a halo to make the light beams visible. So, fiddling
around with the media will be your job. :-)
The image as well as the source code and an animation can be found at
http://www.fmi.uni-konstanz.de/~willhalm/graphics/tracegallery/index.html
Feel free to ask when you have further questions.

Great!!
Lighteffect.
Is it OK if I copy a few lines of your file? Of course your name will appear
the virtual Lights anyway for I just finished my own Simulation with
spotlights instead of cylinders. They have the advantage that the Rays get
"thicker" the longer they travel- like in reality, but the disadvantage of
being not existent at their origin, so I put the Light_sources inside the
Ball which means that it has to be a no shadow object.(see Picture)
The other possibility you mentioned - the patch - seems to be interesting
too. I usually am no fan of patches but wait until they appear as part of
caustics with this Photon-map feature?

I am the only one I know of that has recently made a mirrored
disco ball using the Photon Patch of Pov-Ray. I posted the image
on 03-21-1999 in the povray.binaries.images group. The subject
thread is titled "Dance of the Phuton Fairies". You might be able
to view the image using this link but I have not tried linking
images in this manner here before and it might not work. You can
still go to the image group to see it. I posted the source for the
image a couple of days later in the povray.binaries.scene-files
group and your welcome to use whatever you want from that with
no restrictions from me.

my loved Outlook express (I confess I do use Microsoft))Possibly for the
same reason some bad newseating dragon seemed to have swallowed all entries
on binaries.Images from Aug98 till Apr99 (yes that sounds weird)All in all
it may work again if I removed the whole server from my subscription list
but...
Making it short it would be really great if you could send me your
mirrorball Picture again under
mailto://smarf@t-online.de
Thanks so far

It's OK. When you put your image on a web page or post it in a newsgroup,
please also give a hint where the disco ball came from.

Yes, but I haven't tried it yet. However, the pictures that were
generated with this patch are amazing. (Great work Nathan!)

Please don't post any images to povray.general. The appropriate group is
povray.binaries.images.
Since I wanted to see the shadow of the disco ball, I've had to
place the virtual light sources slightly before the mirrors.
