Hi,

I tried to find more information on the density types of media, but so
far can get only one keyword: SPHERICAL (Help file / online Wiki). Are
there more types? Please give me some information. Thanks.

To control the density of media, you can use almost any of the
/patterns/ listed in section 3.4.7 of the Windows help file, except for
the /normal-dependent/ patterns listed in section 3.4.7.3 (slope and aoi).

Look up any of the following keywords for more details:

agate, average, boxed, bozo, brick, bumps, cells, checker, crackle,
cubic, cylindrical, density_file, dents, facets, fractal, function,
gradient, granite, hexagon, image, leopard, marble, object, onion,
pavement, pigment_pattern, planar, quilted, radial, ripples, spherical,
spiral1, spiral2, spotted, square, tiling, triangular, waves, wood, wrinkles

Thanks for the help.

I previously tried to look it up, but it seems, the help file has a
number of missing links within. Often, clicking or selecting a keyword
in a scene and then pressing F1 opens up only the start page of the help
file. Even using the index or search within that help file, does not
give anything else in many cases than the start page. Missing or
incorrect links within, I think. Thus I went to the Wiki online, but
didn't get a clear answer to my question either.

Just your answer helped me. Thanks. And much to be changed at those places.
