OK, for what it's worth. Thought maybe someone would want a look at the

<dental commercial>Been about 15 years without dentist visits for me. Wisdom
tooth had pushed it's way into tooth in front which had filling already and it
finally broke off part. A bad thing it turns out... brushing alone isn't
everything. They'll be drilling my teeth for a while now too no doubt.</dental

Looks liek a containing box or somthing's intersecting with the floor. Apart
from that a real nice image.

Oh ho, havn't been to the dentist for about four or five years now, I shoud go
for a checkup.
I have many more important things to do than post here, but this is my only
escape.
I've just had a thought, imagine if everyone from all of the groups from here
stopped posting here for a week and posted all our usual stuff on c.g.r.r :-))

Well, if I didn't have anything else to do then I'd make a nice scary render
of the big needle that the dentist probably stuck into your mouth, just to
give everyone nightmares for the next few days. ("Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!")

Hi Dave. I don't think I even had any shots. Just a IV needle in the arm that I
couldn't really feel. It was
the best dentist visit in my life. When I woke up after about a minute to fall asleep
and get back awake in a
half hour or so, I said they could pull all my teeth if they wanted to. Was clumsily
tottering about the rest
of the day is all. I have since regained my senses and want my teeth back for better
chewing ability. Well,
not really, the non-wisdom tooth was sticking into my cheek anyway and so far back
there I doubt it'll matter
much.
Rendering up a dentist room has crossed my mind more than once.

I do not know about the lathe object, but this "bug" also happens with sor
if you do not use the sturm keyword. Try it and see...

I had almost always used sor when making this type of object before (CSG
differencing for interiors) but not
many with clear textures.
The typical view being from above, and creation testing being faster while
non-transparent, could cause a
person to not realize this problem. I almost always instinctively add sturm anyhow
although reading
documentation again seems to make it useful only for the quadratic spline in lathe.
cubic and bezier already
implement it by default. sor however needs you to add sturm yourself even though it
is also cubic spline.

I'd like to see the source to at least the rainbow myself, but I'm confused as to
where that slightly yellow haze line in the horizon comes from? Is that a side
effect the blackish line in the thermometer itself?

Uh-oh, didn't I ever say where I posted it? Doesn't look like it. Well it has been
at povray.text.scene-files
for a short while.
I think you're talking about the sky and it's gradient y backdrop for the color behind
the clouds. When the
plane was clipped by a box it left that up in the air and I didn't think of it being
like that.
The wrong part of the lathe is just below the uppermost float, maybe I didn't point
that out before because the
plane used to align there also. The line above that float is the liquid level. Hope
that explains it now.
