    Ooooh, nice! You do know that it would be a helluva job for a jeweller 
to produce this?    ;)

At 800x600: 2 minutes and 1 second.
Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ (2.21 GHz each
processor) and 1 Gb of ram.
Software: WinXP and the latest beta of Povray 3.7.

I still have to try it in Linux, using a 64 bits OS (Sabayon).

Thank you Malcolm.
Well, these are only some tori and cylinders for the cube and spheres for
the rubies, a plane, three materials and 2 lights. I'm sure that working
with actual lead and stained glass is much more difficult.

My first try was at using only one light inside the cube, but the cube
itself looked weird. The pattern given onto the plane was beautiful and
I've tried to keep both elements (the cube and the pattern) in the scene.

Hi Steve, thanks. I suppose that something very similar had been produced in
the past as a jewell.

From the wikipedia:
"The earliest known example of the Flower of Life symbol is possibly two and
a half thousand years old. Throughout human history, philosophers, artists,
and architects around the world have known the FOL for its perfect form,
proportion, and harmony. It is considered by many to be a symbol of sacred
geometry, said to contain ancient, religious value depicting the
fundamental forms of space and time. In this sense, it is a visual
expression of the connections life weaves through all mankind, believed by
some to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living
things."

It is indeed very beautiful!
How would you tackle this Steve? Filigree?

    Hmm, I had to look at Txemi's first image to see what's involved. It 
could be made the filigree way, but I think it would be faster to make it by 
piercing the pattern out with a saw. You'd draw the pattern on a piece of 
sheet silver, and then saw out all the bits that you don't need, leaving an 
open lattice. With the settings, I'd make a model and get it cast to save 
time. :)

I'm impressed. Something quite different from coding POV primitives  ;-)

The first pic was good, but this one beats it any day IMO. I particularly
like the color scheme. Are you using filter or transmit? And what about
photons?

CSG, he uses the "difference" -method to cut out pieces of one big part.

Sorry I'm late, I hanged online behind GPRS for 2 months, so I have a
little catch-on to do.
