Hello,
POV-Ray 3.6.1 / WinXP
When I use union{} with several mesh2 objects that may be intersecting
the render always ends with bright edges where the mesh intersections
are. The only way to avoid this that I know of is to add split_union off
at the end of the union{}. Using this flag the render is fine but the
problem is that it does not let any of the individual mesh objects to
have no_shadow properties of their own.
Here are two images showing the issue. Look at the knees and left hip.

I am sure I do not know what I am doing but the documentation is lacking
on detailed information about this. Any insight will be appreciated.

This is a variation of the coincident surfaces problem.
A mesh has no inside, (unless you declare one with
inside_vector) so at the joins sometimes the rays
"see thru". If you add inside_vector to your meshes
it'll look fine.

That worked. I just added inside_vector<0,0,1> at the end of all meshes.
Thanks.
