Its possible that ive calculated the normals incorrectly. Im actually
starting from a vrml file generated by a modeling program which contains
the normals. Then I use the vectors from the vrml file and write my pov.
And I know the file works correctly in the modeling program... Is there a
conversion factor or difference between vrml normals and pov normals that
im not aware of?

How would I go about posting an example scene? Im not able to post
attachments on the newsgroup so what would be the easiest way?

Thank you!
