I have problem with "Too many nested refracting objects."
after changine an L-system plant (my underwater plant CSS-3 entry) into an
media instead off plain pigment{...} solid object.
Remove bounds........On
Split unions.........Off
(btw - what exacly does this option do, maybe it can help? or increase
speed of rendering in cost off bigger memory usage for more bounding
boxes?)
Bounding boxes.......On Bounding threshold: 3
Light Buffer.........On
Vista Buffer.........On Draw Vista Buffer....Off
Scene Statistics
Finite objects: 217742
Infinite objects: 1
Light sources: 1
Total: 217744
Rendering Error: Too many nested refracting objects. (<<<<<<<<<<<<)
Total Time: 0 hours 1 minutes 39 seconds (99 seconds)
How can I get rid of this problem?
Main object, after unrolling recurency is something like
union {
union {
union { cylinder{} cylinder{} cylinder{} }
union { cylinder{} cylinder{} cylinder{} }
union { cylinder{} cylinder{} cylinder{} }
}
...
_Each_ cylinder have own texture settings (different colors)
like :
pigment { rgbf 1 }
interior { media { emission <..,..,..> } }

It remove some redundant manual boundings, mainly when the auto-bounding
hapens to be tighter. It may increase render time.

It break up unions to get beter bounding. This leads to faster render
time as it can greatly reduce the number of intersection tests. If you
have 2 or 3 long and narrow perpendicular cylinders in an union, if OFF,
you have to test in the bounds of the whole, almost empty large bounding
box instead of just in 3 narow boxes.

Are those cylinders coaxials? Like all along the X axis between about
the same coodinates. Do they have an ior value, or do you have an ior
set as a default? Are there many intersecting ones?
Just a gues: try increasing the value for adc_bailout in the
global_settings block.
