Hi,

whilst preparing to work on an object for an ongoing project, I stated to
set up the scene and somehow slipped into an experiment with light and
scattering media. The attached is the result.

3x Spot light
1x point light
9x reflective/specular torus
1x scattering media enclosed in a sphere (camera is inside the sphere)

approx 32 hours to trace full size version (1600x1200 jpeg at
http://freespace.virgin.net/justin.whitton/images/pov_full/cage_light.jpg
126KB)

physchadelic man!  My media trials usually screw up.  I'm glad to see
someone is having good luck with it...*sigh*

That is the finest scattering media I think I've ever seen.

Very beautiful. I'm surprised no-one has asked for the code to this one, especially
with
regard to the media settings.

So,....any chance of seeing the code to this one, especially with regard to the media
settings?

I thankyou.

Here's the source, nothing special (quick=0 for the final render). The
picture was rendered with the settings +am2 +r3 +a0.1 +w1600 +h1200 and then
shrunk to 512x384 for posting to this group and my web site. The full size
image is on my site (as a jpeg), and if anyone wants the full 1600x1200 png
file, just ask. (Mind you it's 1.8MB).


sphere {
 0, 20*m
 texture {
  pigment {
   rgbf 1
  }
 }
 hollow
 interior {
  media {
   #if (quick = 1)
    intervals 50
    samples 2,10
    variance 1/64
    confidence (1-2/10)
   #else
    intervals 100
    samples 2,10
    variance 1.256
    confidence (1-1/100)
   #end
   scattering { 1, 1/10 }
   density {
    bozo
   }
  }
 }
 rotate y*(clock*360)
}

Before anyone asks, the setting of variance 1.256 is a typo in the source
(not in this post), but it seams to work :-)
