Hi Thomas!
I believe the first example is very simple, it could be possible to be modified
with ease. The second one although most impressive that is the most beautiful
rendered image of a field I have seen in my life so far, it will be a little
more difficult to modify but not impossible. What requires is someone with an
idea or better with some skill about how to render functions and especially
Physics Field functions on POV RAY. On a previous post Bill shared a POV RAY
code but it is too slow and it is not exactly what I need. You may notice on his
sample he uses clearly the Electric Field function but the total result is poor
in quality and performance.

If you search on the Internet you may find all the masterpieces of the world
with many sample POV RAY code but almost none to share the POV RAY Code for
electromagnetic fields. Those two examples I shared, are the only found on the
net. Strange, isn't it?

Thanks for your post!

Johann
