oh, btw, did I mention that brilliance has no effect if diffuse is set 
to zero? :P

diffuse 0 mean that no light get diffused. brilliance controll how the 
light get diffused. No light diffused = brilliance have no effect.
To me, it's self evident.

As a matter of fact, you didn't.

I add it to the rules, as for somebody not familiar with physical 
properties this is not evident.

Not to me. Like many, I am a moron were physical properties are 
concerned, hence the need for comprehensive rules. ;-)

You mean like in a boxing ring? :-P

I think the documentation will get better as a result. I am compiling a 
document from what Christoph is mumbling about; then I shall let him 
read it and shall expect a bucket full of comments :-)

Is Jim Holsenback still looking after the documentation? I've not seen 
him post for a while.

Right. This should be it I guess:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
sphere {
   <0,0,0>, 1.00
   texture {
     pigment {srgb <0.8, 0.7, 0.7>*0.5 }

       brilliance 3, 3
       reflection {
         0.0, 0.4
         roughness 0.001
         fresnel on
         metallic off
       }
       fresnel on
       metallic off
       conserve_energy
     }
   }
   interior {ior 1.5}

   scale <1,1,1>  rotate <0,0,0>  translate <-1.35, 1.35, 0>
}

sphere {
   <0,0,0>, 1.00
   texture {

       fresnel off

   scale <1,1,1>  rotate <0,0,0>  translate <1.35, 1.35, 0>
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------

As I am still unsure about the looks_like object, in the case of a 
/sun-like/ object, this is the code I used although, to tell the truth, 
it could be left out in the present scene.

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
#declare SunPosition = <-3000, 3000, -3000>;
//apparent size of the Sun (courtesy Cousin Ricky)
#declare SunDis      = vlength(SunPosition)*2/215;

light_source {
     SunPosition
     color rgb <1, 1, 1>*10
     area_light
     SunDis*x, SunDis*z,
     5, 5
     adaptive 2
     jitter
     circular
     orient
     parallel
     point_at <0, 0, 0>
     looks_like {
       sphere {
         0, SunDis
         pigment {color rgb <1,1,1>*10000}
         //finish {emission 1}
         no_radiosity
         no_reflection
       }
     }
     //fade_power 2
     //fade_distance SunDis/2
     //area_illumination

Now you need to do something about the plane, because it /really/ breaks 
the scene.

With no_radiosity and no_reflection, it's pretty simple: If the sun is 
directly visible in the image, use it. If it's only visible in 
reflections, you're perfetly fine without the looks_like.

Oh yes! Which does not mean I shall follow it strictly from now  on ;-)

Hmm, I agree that it is not necessary always following it.

I consider ray-tracing like painting: it is a medium for (artistic) 
expression regardless of its life-like possibilities. It also means 
however that one needs to know the rules in order to be able to break 
them ;-)

Sometimes I have the same idea, but it is come to me that even you don't express
it by a realism lighting, you still do something modeling, arrangement, ... in
an usually framework that express a life-like observation.
There are some other drawing style truly. For me, it is important to have the
ability of rendering realism first.

I think that you are trying to define art. :-)

I have less affinity with this I'm afraid.

I am rather traditional in my preferences, as far as realism is concerned:
http://www.abcgallery.com/R/repin/repin.html
http://www.janmankes.nl/
http://www.helmantel.nl/

just to mention a few. Alternatively, I like abstract painting very much ;-)

Hm, thank you. I'm exploring it. And I would like to know what is my feeling
about art.

I feel that this author deals with so many emotions, thus he\she can bring a
purely sweet style for us.

Follow your instinct. If you don't like something, leave it for a while 
but come back to it later; if you like something, leave it and turn to 
something less familiar, more disturbing. To use a hype term: keep out 
of your comfort zone.

The main problem I have with this though, is that it can drown in pure, 
sugar sweet, sentimentalism.

When you die, change stops.
When you don't change, you are as good as dead (in the mind).
A bit extreme but I hope you get the idea.
When water stops moving it becomes stagnant. And so on... ;-)

Simply your viewpoint changes all the time unless you get stuck in a rut.
I like the wording of "annoyance will pass, but understanding will 
come". It is worth saying a couple of times. :-) But it refers to 
wisdom. Something, for which, I am still waiting for.

Be my guest.

Still waters run deep, shallow waters turn stagnant.

That one earned me a clip round the ear, from my aunt Beryl.

By service I mean race.
As I wait for wisdom I am always moving as I remain in place. Thus 
Wisdom comes to me on its own accord.
