Here is my 2nd model. It's an insulin syringe, the bottle and cap come next.
This is also my first try at global illumination. I'm not too happy with the
shadows but It took forever just to get rid of the artifacts. The materials
are kinda crappy too. Also needs an imagemap... gee.. looks like I'm FAR
from finished with this one. Any critiques welcome!

Very nice model.
The materials of course need some work. Especially the glass-plastic: it looks like
you used a pretty low ior.
I would lower error_bound to get better shadows (~0.1, but it's quite slow). For this
kind of scenes try something like:
radiosity {
pretrace_start 1 (or 0.08)
pretrace_end 1 (or 0.02)
count 300 (or, better 400 or, even better...)
error_bound 0.1 (even better 0.05)
recursion_limit 1 (the sky_sphere does a good job. There's usually no need to use a
higher recursion_limit).
}
Remember to use an appropriate max_trace_level to get rid of the polka dots (actually
I couldn't find any in your image, so either you have already done it or you're not
using reflecting materials).
Anyway a very good 2nd model!

Thanks! Coming from you thats pretty cool :)

I agree, and yes I did use a low ior, but its not suppose to look glassy at
all. When
looking at my source it didn't look like it was refracting much at all. The
main
problem I have with the plastic is that it is much too clear and I don't
know how to
fix that. A real syringe is much hazier. The white circular part of the
plunger that
is visible through the plastic should look blurry.

I'll play around with those settings. I just noticed how low I set my count.
That was
probably my biggest mistake.

They're arn't any, but on all my pre-renders where the shadows looked better
they were
plentiful. I'll try your settings.

Thanks again.

You need subsurface scattering. In other words: Media inside the plastic.
With the right settings, this will look great but the rendertime will
explode.
You can find code for 3S (S-ub S-urface S-cattering) a few days back here.
Otherwise pretty good model and maybe just with a lower transmit value, the
plastic will improve.

Hugo

Accurate looking model, but you definitely need media in the plastic as
others have said.

Looks like I'm going to be the auto-contrast junky for this one .... :P

I'm so lost. I've tried and tried to get the media to do what I want but it
never does. :( When I change the settings, even to some extremes I hardly
ever see a visible change and I can never get a cloudy texture going. I
really need some help, oh and yes I do have hollow on :)
Should I post some code in povray.text.scene-files?
Thanks,
Corey

YAY! I think I'm done! Global illumination is cool, but its not easy when
the majority of the object is transparent. At least not for a newbie like me
:) I took it out and put in an area light instead. Thanks for all the help
everyone!
