Well ... that was a big file for such a generic picture. As you even gave a
URL, you could have made some nice small Jpeg.

I wonder when you will manage to configure your newsreader to generate
readable attachments.
Some technical comments:
- a 15x15 area_light does not have much effect in such a scene apart from
making it slow.
- the finish could use metallic reflection.
- what's described in
http://www.students.tut.fi/~warp/povQandT/languageQandT.html#blurredreflection
is probably a better way for achieving realistic reflection blur.
- using 'recursion_limit 3' for radiosity would be similarly useless as
the 15x15 area_light.

No, that's just for metallic specular highlights.

Hmmmm... I'm not that sure. You mean perhaps that it is much more easy to
setup and (somewhat) faster. But I tried both methods and can't still
decide wich one produces "more realistic" results.
Rafal aproach is not that bad, but I found that it works better with
focal_blur than with aa. I also prefer the cells patern for this technique,
as it seems to give the most smooth results. Here is a sample with 192
blur_samples (damn slow):
http://www.ignorancia.org/images/microcells08-192bs.jpg
and the same scene without "micro-normals":

I was mostly referring to speed, apart from that it's never good if a
technique totally depends on aa (or focal_blur) to function.

Using focal blur for smoothing will not work in the focal plane, you will
always get a grainy appearance there.
BTW, did you use the default normal accuracy or a different value?

yes, but this approach is realistic - if You zoom in real chrome object You
will see that in fact it is quite sharp (as in zoom in on www).
And my normal works exacly that way.
I alsow foght about strong AA needed, and imho best solution is to use
quality optin like
#declare QQ_DetailedNormal = 1;
and when option is "0" - use some i.e. bozo and ignore normals smalle rthen
i.e. 0.1 (on 50.0 radius sphere)

I'm not sure what you think is realistic when rendering this technique in
a larger view, but the irregularities on a slightly dull metal surface are
always in microscopic scale (usually a few micrometer) so you won't see
them directly even if you 'zoom in'. There is no point in trying to
create a physically correct model of the irregularities because you won't
be able to simulate the optical effects involved accurately.

Would you mind taking a bit more care about typing? I would not complain
if this was about language style but it seems just mixing up characters.
If the reason is some medical handicap i will understand of course.

ok. So this image is better to ilustrate tome type of not-polished, or
rusty chrome.
About blurred reflection - why this interesting future was not used in Pov
3.5 ? I meen - where there some problems, or just authors deside this is
not an important future ?
