Hi Niemenen,

Since we are showcasing megapov, I added an isosurface to give a truely
bevelled surface.

Here's a small image and the code that replaces the plane in your posted
scene file.

#declare fnBevel = function { 
  pigment { 
    gradient x 
    colour_map {
      [0 rgb 0.03]
      [0.03 rgb 0]
      [0.97 rgb 0]
      [1 rgb 0.03]
    } 
  } 
}

isosurface {
  function { y + max(fnBevel(x,0,0), fnBevel(z,0,0)) }
  contained_by { box { -<10,0.1,10>, <10,0.1,10> } }
  eval
  texture
  { pigment { checker pigment { Marble1 }, pigment { Marble2 rotate
<30,50> } }
    normal { bumps .2/2.4 scale .03 }
    finish
    { specular .75
      reflection .5 reflection_blur .05 reflection_samples 20
    }
  }
  scale 2
  translate -y
}

    I can never get contained_by{ } to work, I always have to replace it
with bounded_by. Anyone know the reason?

Good floor, but the aliasing in the image you posted is quite ugly! If you let
a longer render go it would be an awesome pic.

Are you using MegaPOV 0.3? If yes, consider downloading 0.4.

    What is really funny is that I did download 0.4 ... I simply failed to
install it...

This is just an artifact of using a normal map instead of actual geometry.
You can improve the look of the intersections by using a boxed pattern instead
of averaged gradients; but this will not get rid of the edge artifacts. For
that, I'd suggest an isosurface.

Better?

normal{
  boxed 1 slope_map{[0 <0,0>][.06 <1,0>]}
  scale .5 translate (x+z)*.5
  warp{repeat x}
  warp{repeat z}
}
