I have made the "fence" in the image below 
from two different shapes, both made with
a torus.

But there seems to be a problem with the 
light reflections from the texture, 
(which is common to the two shapes; 
Soft_Silver with a Red pigment):

The reflection normal of the surfaces
appears to make a sudden change of 
direction in the region where the two
shapes meet. 
(There is only one light source.)

Is this correct behaviour?

(I'm using standard POV-Ray v3.1g for 
Windows.)

And also: Does anyone know of any other 
basic shapes in POV-Ray, or a quartic 
equations, that can be used to make a 
"cigar" shape (like the "convex cylinder") 
in my image ?
