Because they are Floating Boxes, of course.

..and so that the photons are more visible below.

The boxes do have a normal (a map of wrinkles and agate), and it is that
which is causing the wavy pattern of photons

Thankyou.

Thankyou.

Here's the code for the floor texture (sorry about the formatting):

texture {
  pigment {cells turbulence 1 color_map {[0 color rgb <0.7,0.6,0.5>][1 rgb
<0.7,0.6,0.5>*.5]}}
  finish {reflection {0.01,0.05} specular 1 roughness 0.005 ambient 0}}
  texture {
  pigment {cells turbulence 0 scale 0.5 color_map {[0 color rgbf 1][0.5 rgbf
1][1 rgb 0.5]}
  }
  finish {reflection {0.01,0.05} specular 1 roughness 0.005 ambient 0} }
  }

I'm currently rendering a modified version at 1280x1024 so you can scale
that down to fit. I will post it in this thread as soon as it's done.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

Very nice. How you made the smoke-glass look to the cubes?

Thank you. I'm not entirely sure how I got the glass to look like that,
although I think it comes from using fresnel in the reflection block ie.

texture {
pigment { rgbf <0.7,0.5,0.3,0.95>}
finish {reflection {0.05,0.3 fresnel}roughness 0.001 specular 1 ambient 0}
}

All the best,

Ooops! You got me. Needed max processor power for DVD2VCD conversions and
put this on hold. Will continue (or restart) now. Sorry ;-)

Currently on line 848 of 1024. Hopefully will be done this evening as I'm
flying to Greece first thing in the morning (assuming no horrible delays
caused by current strike action). Will post as soon as it's done.

All the best,

Ok, here's the 1280x1024 desktop you wanted. Sorry that the floor texture
got changed, but I prefer the new one.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

Large quantities of thanks :)
I liked the old floor texture more but this isn't bad either.
Have a nice time in Greece
