I got that one during the initial few rows (max_trace was too low for the planes), so
I've
spotted the error early on. It's now set to 256, which should be sufficient for all
reflections taking
place on woman and ocean.
Does anyone know why the max_trace has been limited to 256? No big room for hundreds
of
planes there...
Oh, another thing. The REAL final render uses 70 planes spread of 400 POV-Units worth
of
height
and definetely look good!
And tracing is not too bad either: Finishes in roughly 40 mins on a 1.4 GHZ Athlon
with
512 MB RAM...
(That was my personal present for me from myself for christmas)
