Oh, I wonder why one should tune the density map (I missed that part.. I
just put down the raw code with the same density map). Thanks, I'll try it
once I reach home. Is using density_map different from the color_map (I
think one can have color_map inside the density .. anyway I'll take a look
at pov documentation at home, I'm just not very used to working with media)

Sincerely,
Jose Capco
