Hi,
I am very interested in volumetric rendering, and since now POV have this
ability I try to play with it just a bit.
The fact is that I can only render volumetric fire or clouds that appears to
be "pointilized". I mea I can't get a continuos color inside the flame for
example. The fact is that if you take a photo of a flamne, the "interior"
appears continuos, so the question is,
there is some ways of taking away the pointilized effect?

Thanks a lot

The speckled look is from POV taking random samples through the media.
Increasing the sampling will make it smoother.  Decreasing the brightness of the
media can also help.
