So this'll be included the upcoming version of the Superpatch?
Cool :) Any ideas how many more weekends it might take though?
(Yes.. I ~know~ it sounds like I'm being a right pain in the <fill in>,
particularly that I'm sure Ron has plenty of more important/pressing things
to do than work on a ~freeware~ patch, but it's jjuusssssttt that I'm keen
to use his excellent work :) I understand how time consuming such a
thing can be though, being a programmer myself. Sorry to Ron if the above
sounded rude or anything though - it was not intended.)

I seem to remember that 3D Studio (the predecessor to MAX) implemented
this by way of an exclusion list on the light source. This would be
useful, however, it would also be nice to see your idea of a lit_by list
to allow more flexibility.

The group povray.unofficial.patches would probably be a good place for such
discussions, IMHO.

I won't argue the logic of what you say but will point out that a group
titled "Feature Requests" would be blatantly obvious to anyone thinking of
posting one while the unofficial patches group seems to imply other things
altogether.

Well, this is going to make things quite interesting when I merge photon
mapping with the SuperPatch, won't it. But I'm still waiting because it
looks like changes are still being made to the SuperPatch (e.g. recent
bug found in parametric equation parser).

I would guess it would. That code is in the source you have, though,
so take a few minutes to look at it. One of the .txt files describes
it in some detail.

Yes that's right. The basic idea that 3D Studio had (and this has been
extended into MAX) is the following.
Each light has a name and so do all objects. In the case of POV-Ray these
could just be optional keywords as was suggested (for the lights an ID
perhaps and the lit_by statement in the objects).
Then lights can either be excluded or included for each object (or vice
versa with the objects to the lights). You also have the option for
lighting and/or casting shadows/receiving shadows.
There is also another option that could be implemented into the lights and
that is an option keyword set like the following:
affect_diffuse_only
affect_specular_only
So the light can be switched to affecting the diffuse or speculars of a
surface individually (very useful for ambient direction lighting).
Of course we'll wait and see what the new Superpatch has to offer first I
guess :)

Point well made, Ken. Consider, however, that a group so named might
imply that the POV-Team is poised, ready, willing, and able to
implement a whole bunch of new and innovative ideas while the reality
of life is that they would like to hear of feature requests bundled
with the patch source and, ideally, a working unofficial executable.
