I found out more about this problem, it only occurs when the pigment is
wrapped in a texture:
texture {
    pigment {color Green filter 1}
}
If only the pigment is used, the results are correct. Something being
mis-initialized somewhere? Also, this still only occurs when the version
is set to 3.1. I modified the demo file in your message to add the
texture, and the problem showed up there too.

have been looking for a bug that wasn't there. ;-)<

Heh, I hadn't even noticed that setting. Thanks for telling me. :-)


>There was a problem but that has been fixed by Nathan in 6.1, we waited
for v6.1 to release our version. Are you sure you weren't working with a
version you compiled yourself?<

I am quite sure, because I haven't yet compiled your version, and the
interface in yours is quite distinct(better in many ways) from the
official version(and all of my modified versions, which are based on the
official version).

I will try to get it downloaded and run a test.

Yes, it looks like things are going wrong there. Don't know what it is
yet but we are working on it.

Hope you succeed.

I downloaded the NOV 17 release and it still happens, I can post or
e-mail the POV file if you want. I don't think that is necessary,
though.
BTW, I am greatly enjoying the other features in your version. One small
request: would it be too difficult to incorporate the spline patch from
the Superpatch into your version? It is easier to use than the spline
patch in your version.

No, found it (Nathan did), we will put an update up this weekend. We
still have to fix some minor bugs.
