I was wondering about blobs, I modelled one in a modelling program and tried
to ray trace it in Pov ray, but nothing showed up.  I had a light... I had a
camera...

Thanks

Did you have a pigment or texture ? You might also have it somewhere out
of view of the camera. Try backing the camera off a bit and see if it
appears. It is also possible that you have the blobs parameters set
wrong and it cancelled itself out. Try adjusting the blob threshold
a bit and see if that does anything. If none of these things work post
an example of your pov code for us to look at and we will figure it out
for you.
