That's nice Phil - I like. :)
Is it not the shadow of the sphere you have in front of your object? Or am
I seeing things...?

Verra nice matey!
HDR used as well?

Thanks

The spheres are contained within an open-ended box which is itself
contained with a box with a hole cut in for the 'window' that's being
reflecting, after I've done a view from inside I'll start stripping it
down it's probably one of those that's blocking the light.

Is not it a continue_trace or a rerun with +sr taking new radiosity data?
Or a continue with a different version of POVRay?

The file is set to load previous radiosity and save it back out, this
particular one was started from scratch and loaded in an rca file from an
aborted render after that +c was used when required. As the first restart
occured prior to reaching that point in the final render I would be
surprised if it would carry on as per previous 'style' then switch, I
would expect the switch to occur at the crash point. Anyway I'll strip it
down to check, remove the rca and up the radiosity settings. Heaven knows
how long that will take to render :)

It was fun to do bar the crashes/restarts just a pain to check angles and
of course as soon as you add radiosity all your textures look different :)
> HDR used as well?
fast radiosity with ambient_light 0, background rgb 1, and three close set
lights in the 'flash box' plus focus, everthing was set to no_image except
the obvious.
I wanted to try and emulate someone taking a picture of this object placed
in a 'white box' and photoshoping out the background. The two round lumps
reflected are meant to represent the photographer there is a rudimentary
camera and tripod there as well, all of which really showed up well :P

Posting this as I shudder to think what the render time will be like for
higher settings, res, and focusing so it might be a couple of weeks to a
month down the line. Fast radiosity again, no focal_blur. The jpg version
smears out the details but it's possible to see the beginings of the
reflections. I'm moving the camera closer and maybe angle it to point at
that big sphere on the right, the one that looks slightly darker. I can't
wait :)

Nice... my first thought was "buckminsterfullerene"... is it in fact
60 spheres?
See you in Khyberspace!

<grin> No it's about 90 small spheres and 20 large ones. In essence from
the topmost sphere go four small spheres down, four to the left, and then
back up and you'll see it's a triangle with a central large sphere. Copy
this around the top sphere 5 times, mirror it for the base and rotate that
so each base point is lined up with a cap vertex then join the two up with
another triangle. Sounds easy, but working out the exact angles for
slanting everthing so it all joined up was great fun, required much
doodling.
Still needs some optimising as I know I've got some spheres sharing the
exact smae space as other spheres. OOI how does POV-ray handle it if you
union two spheres in exactly the same space and then texture the union,
does it treat it as one object for reflection etc? I can't see any obvious
coincidents, but maybe some will show up on the close-up.
