  Why do you want to get rid of the warning?

  The warning is actually often a sign of dubious scene design. It's rare to
purposefully put the camera inside an object. And even if you do it
purposefully, at least the warning is giving you some useful information.

Yes, true, when no object in the scene has a user-supplied texture or finish.
But if an object does have a (non-default) finish of its own, then creating a
#default finish will not override that one.  That may be confusing to newbies;
it was to me.

so, I'm looking trough the code and I don't understand why you are building
circles around the camara position. The hot layer is not modeled as a layer,
but rather a set of points on the camara circles? Please enlighten me on the
general idea of the rendering.

Regards Ruud

ps is it possible to make a executable of the rendering process so I could send
it to a supercomputer here? Or does povray need to be installed?
