Right so far :-)

Not quite opposite but close...

Ah, now you're all wrong again! ;-)

A sphere ?

Well, I just read your message to non### [at] nonecom, so I know mine is not exact
duplicate of yours -- I *did* put the lights on the opposite sides of the
torus.

What I couldn't get were the colors you got -- I got close by killing all
diffuse light on the torus, but I couldn't get the true colors... all the
lights blended way too much and got muddy.

But I had a goodly bit of fun trying -- I'm a big fan of abstract work and
reflections and I had never played around inside a torus... lots of
interesting images in that there torus. ;)

Here ya go:

#include "colors.inc"
global_settings { max_trace_level 50 }
torus { 5,1 hollow pigment { color White } finish { ambient 0 diffuse .1
reflection .9 } }
camera { location <0,0,-5> look_at <1,0,-5> }
light_source { <0,0,-5> Red }
light_source { <0,0,-5> Green rotate 120*y }
light_source { <0,0,-5> Blue rotate 240*y }

Surprisingly much simpler than many people thought. No objects except the torus,
all done with diffuse lighting.
I've played around with other shapes, but they all pale considerably in
comparison with this scene. I guess "keep it simple" really does work.

Ahem...<cough>  All done with reflected lighting. A diffuse value of
0.1 ain't going to give you squat for diffused lighting.

I meant that all the color originates from diffuse.

Hmmm... That was not what i was expecting...

Tried some other shapes too... The superellispoid was a beautiful example,
(0.1,1.0) but very slow... wonder why this shape is so much slower than the
others...?

Oh its almost finished lest compare... waiting  waiting  waiting ...
Wow 43 min compared to, maybe 15 at the most usualy 5... Hmmm...(200X200)

Just a little old power mac 7100/80(mhz) W/ 72(ram) Os 8.1 ...
Still i believe it was just the super. shape that took this long... not any of
the others .(torus blob cone...)
