You picture is a fine example of how some of my images turn out.. I mean the
colors. The plane which is orange... apears to have concentric circles colrs
fading inwards.....

I don't know why this shoudl happen and how to get rid of it????

	I'd guess it's just a display problem, here there are no concentric
circles... Does your display support 16M color mode (24 bits)?

This was just a demonstration of the blobbing. It's an improved continuation
to torusblob and boxblob. I guess I could have called it superellipsoidblob,
but that sounds kinda ugly. I came up with this late last night and left it
rendering with some silly settings and it still wasn't done in the morning
so I stopped it, toned it down, and posted it quickly before leaving for
school. The bristles were just placed there to see if this could indeed be a
toothbrush.

>Otherwise the plastic is GOOD.


Really? It's just texture {pigment {rgb 1} finish {phong 1}}. Nothing fancy.
The bristles are texture {pigment {rgb 1 transmit .9} finish {ambient 1}}

See my reply to Marc about the texture. Yes, it is chubby, but I was in a
hurry. I'll improve it later. What do you mean by tiny? Too short, or too
thin?

Yes thankyou... it was on 16 bits color mode... I didn't have a 24bit mode
but do have a 32bit... changed it to 32 bits and walla a perfect image.

Very nice!  However, you might want to make the bristles thinker.  If you
look on a toothbrush, the bristles are in groups of, say 10 bristles, and
there are probably the number of cylinders on your brush as the amount of
groups on a real brush.  Other then that, it's really good for an accident
:)

You're probably using 16-bit color.  Change to 32-bit color for the best
effect.

Better yet is there a way to reduce the number of colour in an image to
16bit, sometimes i render an image and want to keep the concentric curves!!

tried psp, but it dosnt seem to do exactly what i am after..

	To decrease color depth and have these concentric curves in psp, you
should use the "nearest color" option... If you don't want these curves,
use "error diffusion"...
	Here are two sample gifs of the toothbrush, one with error diffusion
and the other with nearest color.
