hello!
i tested a little bit superellipsoids. with the following code i got a
funny pattern on it. does anybody know why?
-------------------------
superellipsoid{
<0.25,0.0001>
pigment{Gray}
scale 0.25
rotate y*-20
translate <0,0.5,0.5>
}
-------------------------
thanks.

It seems to me that POV-Ray 3.5 doesn't like numbers that small. That
confused me since I'm used to using numbers such as .00000001 to avoid
coincident surfaces. But I'm curious as to why it's so sensitive now. It
seems to round real small numbers down to zero or something.

It looks like you could almost make a Union Jack with that =)

Know problem of 3.1 (at least the union jack illumination)
I made a proposal to solve that problem, a long time ago.
If you can read french,
read http://jgrimbert.free.fr/pov/correct/superellipsoid.html
(otherwise, you can still look at the pictures)

Oh, just to mention, it does *not* occur in Povray 3.5 (although there are
still artefacts with these parameters).

Heh, funny, because I never noticed any problem with tiny numbers in version
3.1. Ah, well.
