Sorry in advance for just another uninspired post of random spheres. I'll try
to use more restraint in the future. Few hours to render (after continuing a
couple times so not exactly sure), meshed with splines in POV-Ray, no light
sources, and no radiosity. ;-)

Beautiful "triple" sphere!!!

What then?
Perhaps the focal blur is a bit exaggerated?

How about a comparison with regular Pov-Ray using radiosity and best
possible settings?
Looks very good, natural and realistic, btw :)

Same as the post a couple weeks ago:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3Cweb.47fd8a6d74f49bc3ae42298f0%40news.povray.org%3E/
In summary, light sources have a high ambient, and every surface has something
like finish{ambient 0 refection{rgb 1} diffuse 0}. Normally everything would
just look shiny, but the twelve line patch makes rays go in a random direction.
Voila. Path tracing (I think). Probably not optimal with radiosity available,
but just giving it a try since it can be done. I'll give radiosity a try.
> Perhaps the focal blur is a bit exaggerated?
Yes, its' a weakness of mine, but there's not much detail to be hidden here...

If nothing else, it'd be great to have a diffuse reflection option built-in to
POV. I always thought that it shouldn't be that complicated to do, but I'm no
programmer myself.

Seems pretty natural. Can't really be faked with a normal either. This method
for path tracing is simple, but it seems perhaps too invasive to properly
integrate it. Now what POV-Ray could really use is email support. Just
remember Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment:
Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which
cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.
Therefore I propose we add an email tab to the GUI versions of POV-Ray.

I'd like to know how you created the spheres. I'm afraid my maths isn't up to
creating such neat objects.

Posted to p.t.s-f, with switches for radiosity or path-tracing, and everything
you need to try out the path-tracing.

...and brew coffee! Every program should be able to brew coffee! No version
of POV is complete unless it brews coffee!!

First of all, thanks for the source.
I would like to try both those lines of code for the path-tracing.
But unfortunately I have not found a guide to help ignorant like me (I am stupid
as a goose) to compile POV-Ray.
