I dont know yet if I'll change the scene (with HRDI or blurred 
reflections) but its a good idea... It can be improved !

puzzled, at a mates, pulled the web view file of this, and it had a
sort of distortion - like a partial halo of smokiness with each of
items top edge of lower block where it starts to neck in.

its fine via this newsgroup

Did you model these on some weights that you possess? If so, try
unscrewing those top bits - you should find a little piece of metal
inside. This is to bring the weight up to accuracy.

  Another useless piece of info!  ;)

   Scales next?

I don't possess this kind of weights, I just found a photography on the 
web...

Very nice. What I wonder is, why are the white reflections aliased? I didn't
think POV could do this (and I don't think it's always the best choice).

I don't really know why... perhaps its due that the white boxes I use to 
  illuminate the scene are too bright ?!

That wouldn't normally cause anti-alias to behave any different. From what I
know, the samples are clipped to 0-1 before AA takes place.

I see you're actually using focal-blur and not AA.
Apparently focal-blur doesn't clip the range?
Anyone knows the reason for this decision?

Just a little bit of solution (?) :
"Warning: Focal blur is used. Standard antialiasing is switched off."

Hehe -- unless you happen to be McGuyver :-) He'd mix it with a 
paper-clip, a half-chewed piece of gum, an awkwardly bent staple, and an 
old losing raffle-ticket to break into Fort Knox!
