Just had to tweak that temporary bug I posted earlier but the wings still don't look
right.
Full source for the fly, including a height_field generator, should be in p.b.s-f by
now.

Wow! This is incredibly realistic for a nature with an organism. (ie, it is *almost*
like a
photo, and these are hard to do)

IIRC,
    One of the things that define a "Fly" is that it is one of the very few
insects with only -one- pair of wings.

I had forgotten most of that stuff from
high school, but yes, you are right. We can't
even call it a bug, that is another grouping.
Maybe just flying insect.

Maybe you shoud invert the normal on the wings. The vains are thicker than 
the material inbetween. Also try make the vains darker.

Thank you.

>(ie, it is *almost* like a photo, and these are hard to do)

I *have* been accused of showing photos - *How did you get everything in focus with
such a
close-up shot?*. That is my rarely achieved aim in life with povray :)

Oops! Now he tell me :(
I'd never noticed that. Lots of detail you never see until you try to draw it.

There is one large and one small wing in the source which I originally used for
damselfly
wings. They were meant to be scaled up along their length. No normal was used, just a
crackle height_field and inverting that doesn't look quite right. Thanks for input.

Sorry, I got stuck in teacher mode again. It looked
like a fly to me until someone spoke up.
