My guess is that the 360 degree image format is using a cube model, and
what you see is the edge of that box.

"charset utf8" can't give you genuine render artifacts. It can only give
you wrong character shapes in a `text` object.

Yes, it uses 6 images to form a cube map. The artifacts are distributed
randomly across each of the 6 images.

Forgot to say I think the artifacts are the same size as the "render
blocks" (or whatever they're called) when rendering any scene. Sort of
like the mosaic preview.

I rendered a higher resolution version of the scene.
http://isometricland.net/panorama/pannellum.htm?config=pano-gh-scene-spinner.json
It includes some but not all of the fixes I have been working on over
the last few days. I will probably do another render sometime soon,
though not at the same high resolution because it takes so long.

Okay I'll bite. How long did it take?
It is really good.
What's puzzling me is what looks like a shadow along the three arms of
the support.

It took 2-3 days on a rented Microsoft Azure server. On my home PC it
would have taken 7-10 days I think. That's without the atmospheric media
I wanted to use in the scene, or the radiosity.

Ah! that's not CPU ticks I hear. It is the sound of cents draining out
of your pocket. ;)
It was worth it. :)

The strange thing is it looks familiar. I used a similar shape for a
flywheel, years ago.

Well, I am using the free trial period/balance you get when you create
an account. You get $200 which you can spend in 30 days. I have almost
used all $200.
Google offers $300 that you can spend in 12 months, as well as a
discount if you use Linux instead of Windows. I will be doing that next.

I put it aside as render times were getting too long using just my home
PC. I am impatient.

The "caps" on each end of the habitat are actually a little concave,
too, like a dish. Maybe that is influencing the render?

It is certainly cheaper and tidier than buying hardware.

I've had a look at some of my old files and think I must be remembering
one of your original posts that puzzled me. (At least my long term
memory is still working. ;) )
