All I saw was a solid black sphere - had to open it up and play with the
gamma to see anything :)
would it not be possible to achieve this effect in povray using the pillow
normal?

ok !
but, the effect I want is a surface wich color changes with the incident
light !!
in my picture (I know, it's only a picture, an animation is in progress...)
the green tint is dependant of the light source direction.
as I said, I have to work on it to get the right colours and finish but,
the "spirit" is here !

"Exoskeleton", but people will look at you funny if you use words like
that too much... ;-)

That seems to be an approximation...looking at the source code, POV
seems to use some kind of Fresnel function for textures using
"metallic". This is for both phong and specular...and apparently phong
and specular are the only things affected by metallic, and the
calculations do use the surface color, though it is more complex than a
simple multiplication.

When the spheres overlap more, POV has to solve for more spheres to get
the one that is in front of the others. If you have 4 spheres
overlapping in an area, all 4 will have to be computed to render that
area. When you increase the radius of the small spheres, you increase
the average number of spheres per pixel, and POV has to do more work to
render the image.

ok, thanks for this precision !

Carapace?

Or possibly Carapace.
I assume you're aiming for something like the wing cases off an
iridescent beetle? If so, good luck, and I hope you get the results
you're after, because I've never really managed to get a good
approximation using the iridescence feature of POV 3.1.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Carapace is another word for it, but I've mostly seen it used to refer
to creatures like crabs or lobsters. I'm not an entomologist, though...

To be specific, the carapace is 'the shieldlike exoskeletal plate that
covers at least part of the anterior dorsal surface of many arthropods.'
Do you think using words like that will get people looking at me funny?
<grin>
I suggested it because the iridescent effect he seems to be aiming for is
usually most visible on the abdomens of beetles, some cockroaches, etc.
(i.e. the anterior dorsal surface :)
Ths ends the invertebrate biology lesson for the day <grin>
Bye for now,
Jamie.
