  Object Aura

Being a fairly new pov user I have voraciously toured the many websites
available,
viewing nearly the entire povray-webring and all the sites in the povray
gallery(that
were still good links). In doing so I have had the enjoyment of seeing a
lot of great
stuff. But in my travels(well actually I didn't leave my chair) I
noticed on occasion
that some objects are surrounded by a kind of ...well... "aura" for lack
of a better
description. Most often(or maybe it's just me) this effect seems to
accompany spline
based objects. An example of what I'm talking about can be found at the
Colefax
website. The Spline Generator page has two images; both have this
effect(or maybe
I should say artifact). If you run the animation it's a bit more
obvious.
I am wondering what causes this(mystical enchantment?), and how it can
be avoided
("...don't use splines stupid...").
