Ok.  It's silly.  Makes a great seasonal background screen
despite the fact that it is so busy.

Source on povray.text.scene-files.  Subject "candycorns"

Enjoy

Use this as your wallpaper and you can expect to be spending
some time in a long-stay institution I'd expect:-)

This reminds me of Darcy's M&M image.  I don't think that we
have sweets like these candy corns here in the UK. 

Nice work.

Hi Pete, I tried your scene file out and made a bit of a change to texture:

    color_map {
      [ 0.27 color rgbf <1.5, 0.4, 0.2,.1> ]
      [ 0.37 color rgbf <1, 1, 0.2,.1> ]
      [ 0.66 color rgbf <1, 1, 0.2,.1> ]
      [ 0.79 color rgbf <1,1,1,.1> ]
    }
  }
  finish { ambient 0.2 diffuse 0.9 specular .1 roughness .09 phong .2
phong_size 80 }

This is more what I think of for this candy, although I haven't seen any in
a long while.

That looks better, although some reflection would be interesting too.  How about
collision detection to avoid candies overlapping ?

When using filter/transmit, it would also better to use a merge instead of union
to avoid inside surfaces.

I'm sorry for those of you who do not have candy corn in your country.  This
stuff is great!  Of course, when I lived in Europe I discovered that many
Europeans do not eat regular corn either (evidently that is largely an
American
thing).

I gather that they consider it pigfeed.  (Folklore says major
misunderstandings have sometimes occurred when Americans shipped maize
overseas as emergency relief.)

Incidentally, our cousins in the Former Empire apply the word `corn' to
all grains.  Americans at first called maize `Indian corn' and later,
when the word `corn' otherwise fell out of use in American dialects, it
no longer needed the adjective.

        If it makes you feel any better, it took me longer to upload
it.  (My modem is old)  :)

BTW, it turns out that I have the colors wrong.  Swap the orange and
the yellow to match "real" candycorns.
