Hi POV folks
Version 3.7
I'm experimenting with media scattering types, and according to the pov
documentation there are 5, viz., (1) Isotropic, (2) Mie Haze, (3) Mie Murky, (4)
Rayleigh, and (5) Henyey-Greenstein. However, POV-ray returns an error when I
specify (4) or (5), reporting that only types 1-3 are valid.
Is this a known issue or am I missing something?
Any help much appreciated!
Michael

I used both 4 and 5 with version 3.7. Looks like there is an issue with
your install.
Did you compile POV-Ray ?

Looking at parser_materials.cpp in 3.8, and parstxtr.cpp in 3.7-stable,
the scattering is bound to 1 to SCATTERING_TYPES which is 5.
The warning message is "Unknown atmospheric scattering type.".
The scattering type should appears as XXX in
"scattering { XXX , COLOR "
The restriction 1, 2, or 3 is for the method (of sampling), and should
appears as XXX in
"method XXX"

Thanks for helping to clear this up. I hadn't realised the
distinction between sampling method and scattering{}. Much appreciated!
