Hello,

I wanted to have a surface reflecting with a sort of crystalline 
facetted look. Like the object was polygonal, but with the polygons 
possibly irregular. How could I accomplish this? I played with various 
settings in the normal patterns and while discovering some are very nice 
I found none good. Am I missing some? it seems so trivial, at least a 
regular faceting.

I assume you've looked up "facets" in the documentation? There's a pattern
called just that which should create the exact effect you're describing.

I couldn't find it.. i looked up "facet" in the whole povuser.txt and I 
found only reference to phong and specular microfactes which is clearly 
not the correct thing. wheres houdl it be? under nomals ?

I'm using 3.1, is this a feature of the 3.5perhaps?

thanks

Yes, and is not in 3.1. Maybe you could use checker and turbulence. Then
again, maybe that wouldn't look real good.
