I'm testing a user contributed fix related to 
http://bugs.povray.org/task/287 and thought the image was cool enough to 
share. It's a work in progress so I'm not entirely sure where it will 
end up.

Oh and I had opportunity for an unexpected extra test. We had a storm 
roll through and lost power for a few minutes. My 1st response was CRAP 
eight hours down the drain, but the I remembered +C option. Since the 
scene has photons I just loaded the already generated photon map instead 
of regenerating the map, and then enabled continue trace and she 
finished up the last ten minutes of the render without a hitch!

PS: the fix probably won't make it into 3.7.0 release because of code 
freeze.

I love it. Not in the least, the harmony of colours.

Surely the jar is very good, it seems /real/ (and thanks to the +C option!).

Well I can't take credit for the jar:
http://www.blender-models.com/model-downloads/objects/id/decorative-oct-glass-jar-ver-3/

I think I'm going to try to separate the lid from the rest of the jar, 
and place it on the ground plane, with a few other objects

they're slightly reflective and picking up nice hue from the hdr map. 
amazingly only lit by single area_light

Very good.

By the way, it's /feature/ freeze. I think that there is still place for 
some bug and glitches fixes.

That may improve your still fine image. I would like to see the result.

Best regards,
Michael

Nice doyley, how exactly do you make such an object? The glass jar looks good as
well of course.

The +C option is IMO one of the most important features in POV, especially with
some of my renders that run for several days. Has saved me smashing my
PC/desk/anything else nearby on many an occasion ;-)

It's been in my toolbox for sometime now, and I've used it several 
times. It found an image of the doily on a black background. In GIMP I 
did select by color and was able to get enough of the image to cut then 
paste into a new image that I placed on a transparent background then ...

#declare DoilyPattern =
pigment {
	image_map {
		png "doily.png"
		once
		}
	}

#declare Doily =
box { <0,0,0> <1,1,0.001>
	texture {
		pigment { DoilyPattern }
		finish { diffuse 0.5 emission 0.01}
		}
	translate <-0.5,-0.5,0>
	rotate x*90
	translate y*0.005
	}

object { Doily scale <5,1,5>

the last translate in y direction helped with the appearance of 
thickness as it casts a shadow underneath.

I've attached the image ... hope you can find it useful in one of your 
scenes

Maybe we're talking semantics here. After I cleaned up the users code 
,honoring the style already in the source ... "When in Rome do as the 
Romans do ... correct? I was asked to hold off submitting the "fix" ... 
in other words this wasn't a feature addition. So I'm sticking with 
"code" freeze.
