Try putting diffuse 0 into the haze plane finishes. Thing about reflections
(and specular highlights) is that regardless of transparency the object will
tend to show.
I see that the lathe/camera defect is there, aligned where the camera height
is at. Wish that were preventable, other than moving the camera away from
any intersecting plane.
I've redone that scene file to be more of the actual thermometer I got for
Christmas, I wasn't modelling it directly from the real thing before.
Should I repost that? It never got completed...

And then spoiling the intended perspective. I guess two lathes and a
cylinder could be used instead. Or the next version of POV to fix it.
However, other doodlings are in progress at present.

For the sake of curiosity, the incomplete version, posted or emailed
would be of interest.

Have you tried the sturm keyword on the lathe ?
It may be slower, but better...
Or given the current view, replace the lathe with two lathes and
one cylinder...

It helps a little but certainly not a cure.

I tried e-mailing the pov file to you, it returned undelivered. Used the
address at the bottom of your message, not the other one I see in this
replies header, as follows:
"ml" <paz### [at] unix ccc nottingham ac uk> wrote in message
Should I retry using that one? Well I will anyhow, no trouble to do so.

I gave up e-mailing it and uploaded to a web space.

Even the direct reply back to your address returned the following:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
paz### [at] unix ccc nottingham ac uk
probably spam
Funny thing is, I can't figure what it must be seeing in my address (msn
maybe?:-)) or subject lines that would be filtered. Oh well, there's no
need to know why anymore.

Ooooh, someone from Cripps Computing Centre, I graduated 2 years ago from
Nottingham University so know the place well. I'll be back there in 2 weeks
to help some friends celebrate their exams, can't wait.

Mmmmmm...
Looks like some spammmer has blackened your address or routing here.
Also, there is automatic anti-virus software running on the servers that
dump any 'suspicious' attachments... All very dumb stuff to catch the
99% (or 101% :-( of spam & grot.
Thanks, got the web uploaded version ok.
This poor 233MHz K6 can be made to suffer soon (:->>)

Well my ex-housemate is now in his second year of computer science and
finishes his exams on the 25th so we may be going to the Zone For some
reason I really miss that place, so there will probably end up being some
beer involved :)
