Thanks a ton. That did the trick. I am admittedly just getting started on Povray
so I'm learning the code over a very short period. I realize that it takes a
long time to get any sort of mastery over it. Sorry for the mess. The code was
written in a combination of the povray gui and the megapov gui with a bit added
in by hand...though he original code was at least rendering when I posted it,
maybe I accidently deleted something.
Your pretty much right on. I'm trying to model a protein crystal suspended in
cryogenic liquid over a detector. The looks_like function was supposed to be a
curtain of white light below the crystal.
Thanks again. Your help is really appreciated,
-David
