Well, there's you're problem! This sort of pattern will quickly develop
moire! :) Use something like bumps. Or better yet, use Ron's blurred
reflection trick. I'll go whip up a version of this using his technique and
post it for you.

I hope this does what you want. I didn't make it super-smooth because I
figured you wanted a little graininess.

Well, I kinda know that. I want to get rid of moire not the texture. :) That
kind of quadrangular bump pattern is on my kitchen counter.
I have already tried the blurred reflection trick on the sinks, but it's
sooo sloooow.
But thanks for your effort!

Well, if you want to be physically accurate I can't help you. I only
provided a solution that works so it looks right.

I often forget I'm running at 1.33GHz... :)

You're welcome.

Try replacing the plane in the scene you sent with this:
union {
box {<-999, 89.5, -999><-150.1, 0, 999> }
box {<-89.9, 89.5, -999><999, 0, 999> }
box {<-150.1, 89.5, -999><-89.9, 0, 135.4> }
box {<-150.1, 89.5, 185.6><-89.9, 0, 999> }
difference {
box {<-150.1, 89.5, 185.6><-89.9, 0, 135.4> }
box {<-150, 89.6, 185.5><-90, 69.5, 135.5> }
}
texture {BlurredMetal}
}
and you'll see that some things are slow even with 1.33GHz. Tracing that is
at least ten times slower than it was with just a plane. I guess there's no
way to optimize that difference. :(

(PS. Hmm.. I wounder what happens, if I put some glass objects in my
kitchen, increase the max_trace_level to make them trace correctly AND use
the blurred reflection with I < 50. ;) )

Do NOT use blurred reflection on transparent objects. It's TOO slow to
fathom.

Hi
I got stuck playing with the lighting. Still haven't finished the faucet.
And I have to some plates, pots, glasses etc. It's a shame the multiple
instances are gone.
This version was done with that Dynamic Range Compression magic. A bit dark
I guess.. All lighting experts, the stage is yours.
Btw. the only way to get rid of the moire seems to be a four times bigger
picture scaled down and man it takes long. One test without reflections was
nearly a day. Thanks to all who gave suggestions to the earlier problems. :)

Hmm...I think the sink's a little small for the cabinets/light/tiles...
Other than that, I like it. Needs more clutter, tho, to add realism ;)

This definitely has that extra touch of realism that is missing
in plain vanilla renderings. The tube doesn't seem to be 36x1
in dimensions though, and my previous advice on the fade_distance
doesn't apply here unless you recalculated for the new geometry.
This a challenging scene for radiosity. Is the whole room modelled?
Just blank walls are enough for the out-of-frame parts and maybe
black patches for the window(s). The tonal balance looks ok for
sRGB image but more color variations would be nice. For the moire
I would try blurred version of the normal as normal map. If you
add glass to the scene the render time will explode unless it's
done is two steps.
The http news are broken at the moment so here's a NS link to
a thread where this glass and radiosity issue came up:
news://news.povray.org/3be39102%40news.povray.org
news://news.povray.org/3be532ca%40news.povray.org
First save the rad data from a "quick glass" render and reuse
it in the final render. The image is not important here so 1/2
resolution should be enough. Set glass or transparent objects like
this when saving rad data:
max_trace_level recursion_limit+1 (may need to be higher)
diffuse 0 ambient 0
no normal
no reflection
Then set them back to normal and:
load_file "rad.dat" always_sample off pretrace_start 1 pretrace_end 1

Very good lighting! What is the scene scale, and what fade_distance you
used? (only curious)
