It looks like something the "average" POV-Ray user would never be
able to come up with on his/her own.

You mean the +X switch I think. No, I never do anything but use the +C in
the ini dialog (command-line) when I need to start over at the last rendered
line. Even in animations it will skip all the previous frames and continue
where it left off. I checked to see if I had something set in the
povray.ini file and nothing there that would relate. Windows version of
POV-Ray.

Ken is right - there's no way on earth I could have come up with that. Thank
you Nathan for the help and Chris for the iso suggestion. There are other
patterns affected by the change, will the same function work for them?

I wonder, whether these values are correct too? I followed this
"Wondering about Noise()" thread in programming group and as I
understand, they come from Xander's noise test, where he took several
million samples over a box. But there is no guarantee, that there does
not exist points, where noise value could exceed this range <-1.05242,
0.988997>. So I guess that better would be to just add 1, divide by 2
and clamp into range 0-1. It is easier to understand, as there is no
"Tambov constants" (as we call here constants, which should be added to
value in order to get correct result) and more logical. I guess that
little difference between this approach and current implementation in
unnoticeable.

Why didn't you just use the command line option +C to continue the render?

I was so shocked at having been so stupid I was even more stupid and just
