Hi,
after years I started to use PoV-Ray again. I just forgot my favourite
hobby.
Because the dice theme was my last work with 3.1
(http://linux1.intershop.de/rene/povray/scenes_eng.html), I decided to use
it as my first theme for 3.5 as well.
Just looking forward to your comments. The image does not have final
quality, I used blur_samples 125 to speed up the things a little bit (less
samples look awful even as low quality preview). The camera position as well
as the background are not final.
Bye,
Rene

Oh, not bad! At first I thought the white borders were post-processed but
now I see they're part of the focal blur. Nice touch! Those transparant
dices look good too, except those close up.
I don't know why you need so many blur_samples however. I understand the
grainyness increases with fewer samples but usually that doesn't destroy the
overall quality.. I think there is something odd with be transition between
the white dots and the transparant plastic on the dices.. I don't think more
samples will fix this. (?)
Regards,
Hugo

Thanks. I hope that more samples will fix it, I tried 25 instead of 125 and
I just got a bunch of pixels. Therefore I assume the opposite. Focal Blur
disables normal anti-aliasing and therefore it has to compensate the edges
as well.
I keep you updated.

Rene, try setting variance to zero, confidence to 0.9999 and using approx 140 samples
(or
more, as required)

I am going to post more because Pov-Ray is a great hobby. It gives you
instant satisfaction and stimulates your mind.
