Inspired by JRG's post, I decided to make one of my own. :) This was
rendered with pre-beta POV 3.5*. Enjoy.




* (P)review soon to appear on POVRay.co.uk.

How dare you tempt us with the words pre-beta POV 3.5... 
I know, I know, its easy if you know how.

BTW, nice pic

Patience, Mr. Art... the day is closer than you could possibly imagine.
(Well, maybe not that close, but pretty darn close. :)

I like the pattern of the floor... is it something like nested checkered
pigment patterns?
Nice metals too. Did you use a transparent layer to fake the highlights?
POV-3.5? Then, you're a lucky one.

No. Just a simple "cells" pattern with a color_map.

Nope. Here's what I used:

   finish
   {
    ambient 0 diffuse 0
    reflection {1 metallic}
    specular 3 roughness 0.01
    metallic conserve_energy
   }

Quite. Can you imagine getting an e-mail asking you if you would like to be
a Pre-Beta tester? Those don't come very often! :-D

Is the blur a post-process in Povray or is it created while the picture
renders?   Just curious as to the amount of time it takes compared to the
older Povray focal blur.

There is no "newer" blur. If you look at the Team's report from a year ago,
there were no plans to include post-processing of any kind in 3.5.
Therefore, this is the same as the old blur, and renders just as quickly...
or slowly rather. :)

Ouch! I should have known...

Perfectly polished mirrors, and nice new syntax for reflection... Why are
you using conserve_energy with non-transparent objects?

I believe conserve_energy can reduce reflection oversaturation even on
opaque objects.  But, "why are there two 'metallic' keywords used and no
brilliance?", is my question.  :-)
