Hi, I'm an old Pov-Ray user, once I was used to read regularly this
newsgroup but now I'm somehow a newbe.
So, what does 'WIP' mean? I wasn't able to find it.

Thank you, Massimiliano.

Work In Progress. It's nice to see a fellow from my country, city,
University in this newsgroup!

Blurring the h-f image in your favourite image-processing package should
help you here. The quality much depends on its resolution. And don't forget
*smooth on* in the h-f block!

That's just it. I a very high res image and I used smooth on. It just doesn't
seem to work correctly with reflections. Maybe I should try the guitar again in
3.5...

I think I'll just use CSG for the number-plates. I want to be able to specify
different number-plates for different cars without having to make a new image in
another application each time. We have flat number-plates here in South Africa
now, so it'll be SA number-plates...
