Folks,
I was unable to find a way to enter simple values in the Material Editor for
density_maps ... see below.  Anyone know how to enter this through the
Material Editor (except as hand coding)?

Neil
media    {      absorption 1      density      {        spherical
density_map        {          [0 rgb 0]          [0.5 rgb 0]          [0.7
rgb .5]          [1 rgb 1]        }      }    }

Tim,
Unfortunately, that produces:

 density
            {
               agate
               agate_turb 1.0
               color_map
               {
                  [ 0.0     rgbft <0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0> ]
                  [ 1.0     rgbft <1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0> ]
               }
            }
         }

and not

 density
            {
              density_map
               {
                  [ 0.0     rgb ... ]
                  [ 1.0     rgb ... ]
               }
            }
         }


Your suggestion produces a color_map which alters the colors of the media
through its depth and not the density of the media through its depth.

Tim,
Unfortunately, from there, one can't create a simple RGB value but instead
must add a

o Density Noise Pattern
o Block pattern with densities
o Colormap noise pattern
o Density Map noise pattern

What I am looking for is a "solid density" similar to "solid color"

To see that what I am looking for is possible, see the sample on 2.3.6.3.2
of the POV-Ray manual on "Absorbing media".  I can't create their example
using Moray without hand coding the media.  I can't use the Media Editor in
Moray to create that one.

What's the difference between a solid density densitymap and a solid 
density, and a density map with identical map entries (dunno myself, 
just asking)?

er?  I don't seem to have that section, what version of POV are you 
running?  (I'm running 3.5, as 3.6.x had some problems when I used it)

hrmm well, that is why the 'direct code' feature is there in Moray 3.5... ;)

Yeah, looks like we missed that combination....
