How's this look? All constant size, but using 3D "gridlines" seems to mimic
the effect better than any 2D pattern on the floor plane, since the pattern
becomes infinitely thin as it approaches the horizon.

Of course, you'd need to add a } to the camera statement. There are some
limitations to this approach, as seen below. Maybe the y-dimension
thickness of the cylinders could be scaled according to their distance from
the camera using a matrix transformation? That would fix the fact that
objects look like they're sitting on top of the gridlines (which they are).
You'd still have the problem of no shadows being cast on the gridlines.
It's sometimes hard to mimic 2D raster graphics with z-buffering using
"real" 3D objects.

Actually I was trying the same. At the moment I use a cone under the
camera as ground. Looks not too bad. I'll post some images later.

oh, yes, ic, with +r4 or higher you do get an advantage by using +am2
... or am I totally misinterpreting the adaptive aa-method? :)

I see everyone has been busy and things are looking better. Now to try and
digest all this info.

I seem to remember that TRON used vector graphics.
Instead of sweeping the electron beams to paint the
whole screen only the object outlines get painted.
Any background bluring might have been intentionally
added when they merged the layered images together.

Here is my latest try...
However you can now tell the grid lines have height. I have another idea
but I'll discuss that over at "Re: TRON Game Grid..." in povray.newusers.
