Very nice :)
Would you mind posting the code you used for the plastic
material?

Sure I could post the material but it's nothing special. The settings are
all default, except brilliance was increased, ambient turned off, and
variable reflection was used.
But I've been thinking about setting up a tutorial for POV-Ray users about
various aspects of lighting, since this is the key to great images. There
are a number of variables that interact with each other. The approch that I
use still isn't very common. Many "modern" POV-Ray users seem to have
problems with realistic lighting and maybe a tutorial would help. It's my
favourite subject these days, anyway.
Also modelling plays a role in this, of course. It's typical for plastic to
have rounded edges everywhere, like they melted in an oven.

Hugo

Yes it would.

Nice looking, and you had to know that this was coming:
Got a wireframe?

Well, my attempts to do something similar have come out
poorly. That is why I asked. :)

I'll be glad to help.
I think a tutorial will be the best way.
Maybe before next year! :o)

Hehe, of course. I used some triangle decimation but it's still a very dense
mesh. The wireframe is ready - filesize is about 500kb via email. Can I send
it to you directly?

Absolutely. Send it to shay@=>nospam<=simcoparts.com
I coded a Pov version last night. I'm running a couple of tests here at
work to find a good looking function to use. Testing is a bit slow due
to the parse times. I might wait until I get home to post an image.

Got it. Thanks. It's beautiful.
Well, there goes rendering an example pic here at work. I couldn't touch
that kind of resolution with the RAM I have available here. Mine works
the same, though, and even here can form a simple bozo displaced sphere
down to sub-pixel resolution. I'll just render an example when I get
home tonight.
