I would rather liked to see a smooth shade of light, instead, this images speaks
for itself...

What's wrong?

Thanks,

You need more samples, and your density probably needs adjustment. (you 
adjust the density by changing the brightness of the color, something 
that took me a long time to figure out) Without code for the media and 
scene, I can't say much more...
If you plan on experimenting with media, you might want to download 
MegaPOV, which has two additional sampling methods that will let you get 
smooth results with lower samples...which especially means faster 
rendering of test images. :-)

I see...  I'll try something out about the density and I might take a look at
MegaPOV...  Thanks

I have run cross this problem before when the density of the media was
too high.  In that case, a random few of the samples will make it
through the media without interacting, leaving a bunch of light colored
random dots on a black background...

	Try reducing the density of your media be factors of 10 ( 0.1, 0.001,
0.0001, ... ) until you get something that renders.

Yes, that's it...  It worked at 0.0001, had to tweak some things, but it was
definately more grayscale than black&white!

Thanks
