Hi,
I have problem with my scene. I posted here full source and link to images.

Problem is with glass texture. Everything is o.k., until I add dispersion.
I want to get nice rainbow (photons+dispersion). But adding dispersion 
makes glass very dark, even at pigment color rgbf 1 (without dispersion it 
is totaly clear ofcourse).

Is there some way to add filter to dispersion effect ? btw. how can I get 
rid of that yellow sircle around lower-right part of glass ?
IMHO it would be good idea to allow setting diffrent dispersion that is 
used to calculate glass color, and diffrent to calcualate photons.

How can I both have nice rainbow photons on gray bacground, and have very 
clear glass (like color rgbf .99)

1.4 is quite high for dispersion, realistic values are in the range of  1.01
or so.  1.1 can give nice but unrealistic results.  The dispersion value is
basically the ratio of the ior for red to the ior for violet for a given
material.   I have an ior include file that has iors and dispersion values
for a lot of different materials and that is essentially how the values
look:

ior = (ior_red+ior_violet)/2
dispersion = ior_red/ior_violet

Also, consts.inc has dispersion values defined for quartz glass, water, 
diamond, and sapphire.
Unrealistic values can give interesting effects though...in 
newdiffract.pov I used 0.1.

I partialy fixed problems - the filter in pigment was too big, and ambient 
was almost ignored. 

But still - why using even dispersion 1.00001 makes objct _much_ brighter - 
so I have to change amient from 0.0 to about 1.0 to have simmilar results 
as with no dispersion


Now I use following material, and it gives nice results

    texture {
      pigment { color rgbf <.93,.98,.999, .98> }
      finish { 
        specular .8 roughness 0.001
        phong 0.2 phong_size 20
        reflection { .03 .11 }
        diffuse .60
        ambient 2
      }
    }  
    interior { 
      ior 1.70 fade_power 1 fade_distance 50
      dispersion 1.2 dispersion_samples QQ_Disp
    }

much DARKER ofcourse :)
btw. will news.povray.org allow supersede messages ?

When using photons, you should add 'collect off' to the photon block of
your glass objects.
see 6.10.4 and 6.10.2

Another little piece of advice (if you are using 3.5):
in your camera declaration use:

  up y
  right x*image_width/image_height


the image proportions don't get distorted if you change the aspect ratio of
the output file, it gets calculated automatically.

collect off will make glass same, or darker, while I want to make it 
brighter.

Hi,
after some tests with this magnifing glass, I think I found a bug in 
dispersion + photons + filter objects.
My image looks different in mosaic preview then in single-pass render !

The final mosaic step (1x1) is identical to single-pass, BUT mosaic steps 
(2x2, 4x4, etc) - look different. IMHO 2x2 looks correct, while 1x1 image 
have bug.

The problem is 'clearness' (filter) of glass. It sometimes look like glass, 
sometimes like plastic with very low filter like .2

2x2 mosaic, dispersion 1.3  - nice glass (OK)
1x1 mosaic, dispersion 1.3  - plastic glass (wrong) 
2x2 mosaic, no ispersion    - nice glass (OK)
1x1 mosaic, no dispersion   - nice glass (OK)

look at image posted to .b.i (under Magnyfing glass subject) it's upper 
half is with 1x1 mosaic (plastic-glass) and lower part is 2x2 mosaic (nice 
glass).
