Nice. No, very good. Only thing, which disturbs me, is too "strong"
focal blur - a little bit bigger view depth would be better. IMHO, of
course.

I didn't want to bring it up but that is a good point. I have done
a little photography over the years, both standard lenses and macros.
In shots like this you will get a little out of focus on the peripheries
but the vignetting should mostly occur around the square courners of
the image and not with a straight demarcation line like I have been
seeing lately around here. The focal blur will conform to the round
shape of the lens.
This is YAGGI and the goof ball is excellent. Where is the Tee ?
#declare GolfTee =
union {
difference{
cylinder { y*4, y*6, 1}
sphere { y*8, 2.25}
torus { 1, 0.8 scale <1,2.25,1> translate y*4}}
cylinder { y*0.295, y*4.99, 0.2}
cone { 0, 0, y*0.95, 0.2}}
object {GolfTee translate y*-3.5
pigment{red 1}
finish {ambient 0.3 diffuse 0.35 phong 0.25}
normal {gradient x .5 scale<0.05,.5,0.05>}}

Looks great!
On thing that would make it even better would be radiosity, so the ball
would take on a green hue and the shadow of the ball wouldn't be an uniform
green.
The render might take two weeks, but hey! ;)

I think that I needed to pull the camera back and use more of a zoom
efect to get the round blur,but with this type of render time I gave up
after awhile. I was real close to the ball and I think that made the
line across it. I think part of the render time being so long might have
been for a typo I put the variance at 1/25601 I didn't see it before I
rendered. Maybe one of these days when I go on vacation I will try to
put radiosity in it ; )

Yep, you're right, that would fill in the colors nicely I would think,
Buke already says he may do that. That could be a long vacation.
About the rounded focal blur, think Ken meant in real photography (hey,
I take pictures a lot too!).
I typically use a "zoom" angle and large distance for the camera but in
the little bit I've used focal blur I haven't seen anything but the
straight horizontal focal point line. Seems closer and wider angle might
be more likely to do this in POV-Ray. But as I say, I don't let my
computer render more than a day if I can help it at all so I have yet to
see this sort of effect I guess.

Yeah... radiosity is what it needs. Radiosity, focal blur, blurred
reflection (from the SuperPatch), atmosphere made with media, and tons of
area lights!!!!! But you will need to port POV to the Cray Y-MP to render
it in your lifetime.

The one feature I don't like about POV is the focal blur. I find that using
an image averager with many images taken from slightly different angles
produces a better result, even though it takes much longer.

Concerning the Cray Y-MP * Is this the model number for the latest incarnation
of the Cray line ? I think I heard recently that the original company that
founded the Cray computer line disolved and was bought by a recognized computer
manufacturer. The
current methods of manufacturing this last model are so far
removed from the original design and purpose that the "Cray" name on the outside
of the box is more for name recognition than any real relationship to it's
former self.
Is this - True ?
Or
Is this - False ?

Beats me. I looked in the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records for fastest
computer and it lists the Cray Y-MP C-90. But then again, it lists the 300
MHz Alpha as the fastest CPU, so who knows what's fastest today. The
supercomputing speed record went to 2 linked Intel Paragon
parallel-processing machines with a total of 6768 processors, which achieved
328 gigaflops. Anybody up to porting POV to that machine???

Small potatoes... Intel made a 1.2 Terraflops machine about 6 months
ago... The US government isn't so worried about nuclear test bans,
because they can model nuclear explosions on their computers now.
