Thanks Ian.  I'll give it a try.

Ian,

OK. Tried your suggestion with megapov 0.7  The results are attached.

Media looks better except the top and both sides have been chopped off (or
left off).  Any ideas what's going wrong or how to fix?

Thanks.

Jim

This was using

   method 3
   intervals 1
   samples 3,5
   confidence 0.999
   variance 1/1000

Here's another result using:

   method 3
   intervals 20
   samples 3,5
   confidence 0.999
   variance 1/1000

What's going on with this?  Looks like the sampling algorithm is not
behaving properly.

I hadn't seen the number of layers your df3 might be made up of but that
intervals change suggests to me there are a few.   Nathan Kopp has made the
method 3 somehow figure the intervals out on it's own (I'm guessing) and
maybe what you really need to do is increase the samples.  I often use equal
numbers.  Perhaps a samples 10,10 is okay for you?  If not there's always
method 2 and samples 5,5 could possibly do well.

OK.  It turns out that, although media is supposed to be contained within a
unit cube, it really isn't.

If you lok at my inc file, you'll see I used a unit cube box to contain the
media so it could be rendered.  Well, if I change the box specification from

 box{ <0,1>

to

 box{ <0,0,-2>, <2,2,2>

the problem goes away, as one can see in the attached image.  Hopefully this
does not indicate there is a bug in megapov.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Jim

I can't see that happening here, using spiral.df3 in place of your df3, the
media is contained within the 1 unit cube as described in the doc.
I thought perhaps it could be wave type but default is ramp_wave and looked
okay to me anyway. Most likely thing could be you are getting some sort of
perspective trouble.  Make your box transmit 0.5 instead of 1 and you can
see where the sides are.

I think it's quite pretty as is.
