Hello,

I'm very new to POV-Ray, and for my first project I'm trying to use it to
create a picture of a conical flask, made out of glass. The base is a
torus, the body a cone, and the neck a cylinder. The problem is, it doesn't
look very realistic!

Source is  below, graphic is at http://www.orang-utan.com/richard.bmp

I would be very grateful for advice, suggestions, etc. I think I have the
coincident surfaces problem too, but I've read the FAQ and fiddled for ages
and I can't fix it.

Thanks,

Richard
