Hi everyone,

I don't get good results rendering a code which should give me "particles" 
in the water (in a hollow box).

Please the the thread "Abyss" in the P.B.Images section to get some more 
information.

Here is the hollow box media:

interior {
#local S_low = 60;
#local S_high = 100;
media {                 //pea
         scattering {
                 1,
                 1
                 extinction 1.0

         }
         density {
                 granite
                 turbulence 0
                 scale .03125
                 color_map {
                   [0.00 rgb 0]
                   [0.85 rgb 0]
                   [0.90 rgb <.004,.006,.002>*1.4]
                   [1.00 rgb <.004,.006,.002>*1.4]
                 }
         }
         samples S_low, S_high
}
media {                 //large pieces
         scattering {
                 1,
                 1
                 extinction 1.0

         }
         density {
                 granite
                 turbulence .1
                 scale 5.5
                 color_map {
                   [0.000 rgb <.025,.025,.022>*3]
                   [0.030 rgb <.025,.025,.022>*3]
                   [0.035 rgb 0]
                   [1.000 rgb 0]
                 }
         }
         method 1
         samples S_low, S_high
}
}

The author of that code says (and shows), that the result with a regular 
version of POV-Ray looks quite good. but with the beta version, there is not 
much to see.

Media is not in a good state right now; we will investigate the issues in time.

thanks,
