How was this done using one camera, two primitives, and two single 
layered textures?

Oh, and jpeg really didn't like it at all...

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Object pattern and/or pigment pattern? Or is it official POV?

Indexed png would have been better since there are v few colours.

Some people don't like .png's since they have to spawn external viewers.  
So I decided to be nice to them and use jpeg :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

100% doable in plain vanilla povray 3.1g.  I know this because it was 
rendered using WinPOV 3.1g <grin>

And you're thinking in far too complex a manner...

Maybe I'll post a different view showing how it was done on the morrow.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

It's really quite simple: A perfect reflective cone standing on a checkered
floor, viewed from above.

Proof:

#include "colors.inc"
camera  {
orthographic
  location  <0.0, 10.0, 0.0>
  up <0, 0, 2.1>
  right <2.1, 0, 0>
  look_at   <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
}
cone {
  3*y, 0.0,
  0*y, 1.0
   finish {
      reflection 1
   }
}
plane { <0, 1, 0>, 0
   pigment {
      checker White, Black
   }
   finish {ambient 1}
}

Bye,
Wolfgang

I would have suggested gif if it was not for patent issues.

I've never really grasped that "display inline" thingy. A good image
viewer can probably do gamma correction, view the image fullscreen
etc. etc. and also supports much more formats (and does so better)
than a browser.

Correct!

Give that man a chocolate banana :)

The precise numbers on the scaling of the cone are different, but who 
cares about that.  Oh, and I didn't use an ortho camera.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
