blob{
sphere{ -x/2, 1, 1 pigment{ red 1 } }
sphere{ x/2, 1, 1 pigment{ green 1 } }
}
Pov 3.5 (and 3.1) complain no pigment type given. Am I missing
something simple? I've only just noticed this while updating an old
3.1 scene but docs 6.5.1.1 seem to say above is legal.

A sphere needs X, Y, Z, radius, and colour. What you
have there is being interpreted as the first four of
those.

The "no pigment type given" message is just a warning. Though the blob
itself has no pigment, what you have specified is perfectly legal.

Wrong. What a spherical blob component needs is: vector, float, float

It's just a harmless bug. Shouldn't affect rendering in any way.

That is not even close to correct. Spherical blob components take a
vector for the center and a float radius, like the sphere primitive, and
an additional strength float value. You can also specify a texture for
individual components. You do not specify a color, but you can specify
only the pigment of a texture. This is exactly what is specified here.
This warning (not an error) is caused by the fact that the blob shape on
the whole doesn't have a texture defined. This is usually a mistake, so
it produces a warning. The components themselves have textures, so it
will render fine.

My statement, as it stands by itelf, is correct; I
misunderstood Alf's code because I'm not familiar
with blobs. A SPHERE does need the five components
I mentioned. However, what was being talked about
wasn't spheres, it was sphere COMPONENTS of a blob.

No, as Chris Huff said, a sphere needs a vector for the center and a float
for the radius. A warning is issued if no texture is given in either the
sphere itself or in a wrapping CSG structure.
So nothing like 5 components, see also the docs, section 6.5.1.9:
SPHERE:
sphere
{
<Center>, Radius
[OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
}

I counted the texture modifier as a single component;
center has 3 components (x, y, and z), then there's the
radius. that leaves us with 5 components.

Not a very good idea, 'sphere { 0, 1 }' is perfectly legal and i don't see
any five components.
