>How did you do the blade?

This was the first time I really tried playing with media so there's
probably a better way to do it...

//-----------------------Blade
Media----------------------------------------
#declare Outer = media {
      intervals 2
      samples 1, 2
      confidence 0.9
      variance 1/1000
      emission rgb<0,1,1>
      density {
                radial
                turbulence 0.0009
                color_map {
                        [0.0 color rgb <0, 1, 1>]
                        [0.2 color rgb <0, 1, .9>*15]
                        [0.5 color rgb <0, 1, 1>]
                        [1.0 color rgb <0, 1, 1>]
                }
      }
}
#declare Inner = media {
        intervals 2
        samples 1,2
        confidence 0.9
        variance 1/1000
        emission rgb<1,1,1>
        density {
                radial
                turbulence 0.0009
                color_map {
                        [0.0 color rgb <1, 1, 1>]
                        [0.2 color rgb <1, 1, 1>*55]
                        [0.4 color rgb <1, 1, 1>*55]
                        [1.0 color rgb <0, 1, 1>]
                }
        }
}
//-------------------------BLADE-------------------------------------
#declare BLADE = object{ union{
merge{
        cone {  <0,0.96,0>,.003        //blade core
                <0,0.24,0>,0.0125
                hollow on
        }
        sphere{ <0.0,0.195,0.0>,.045
                scale<0.32,1.45,0.32>
                hollow on
        }
        pigment { color rgbf <1, 1, 1,.95> }  //changing transmit to
filter causes shadows (red ones that is)
        finish{ambient .8}
        interior{ media{Inner} }
}
merge{                              //blade glow
        sphere {<0,0.97,0>,.015     //tip
                hollow on
        }
        cone {  <0,0.97,0>,.017
                <0,0.313,0>,0.0385
                hollow on
        }
        sphere {<0,0.313,0>,.075
                hollow on
                scale<0.55,1.0,0.55>
        }
        pigment { color rgbf <1, 1, 1,1> }  //changing transmit to
filter causes shadows (red ones that is)
        finish{ambient .02}
        interior{ media{Outer} }
}
}//***end of union***
}//***End of object = Blade

object{BLADE}
