Maybe there just isn't any way around that lathe "bug" unless the camera is
complete non-parallel with any height of the lathe object.
This is my rendition of the glass and liquid thermometer I tried after seeing
what Kallek had made and posted on 11/1/00.
I reduced the floor plane to a smaller area so that it wouldn't align opposite
the camera and the artifact still shows up. My apologies to Kallek, for me not
believing.
Something odd happened to this render BTW. The checkered plane, with no
coincident surfaces at all, has speckles in it. Not a thing I can find to
explain why.
P.S. what a broken tooth, toothache, dentist visit for teeth (two of them)
pulling can do: almost 300 post reading backlog in this group alone. Don't you
people have other things to do! ;-) Just kidding.
