Hi,

Inside a loop, i compute a color with this basic code :
	#declare thisHSL = rgb <360*i/N, 1, 0.40>;
	#declare thisRGB = CHSL2RGB(thisHSL);


Always in the same loop, if i use the color like that :
         pigment {rgb thisRGB }

POVRay say : Parse warning : Suspicious expression after rgb.
And after progress in loop, crash !!!
	
On the other hand, if i use the color like that :	
	pigment {rgb <thisRGB.red, thisRGB.green, thisRGB.blue> }

all is OK !

Where is a problem ?


I use POV-Ray 3.8.0-alpha10013324.unofficial on Mac.

I've had to struggle with this many times before.

Try

pigment {color rgb thisRGB }

or

#local Color = thisRGB;
pigment {Color}


Also, provide the details of "crash" - what happens?   Is there an output?
Error message?

The 'suspicious' expression is that 'rgb' is used twice.
either write:

#declare thisHSL = <rgb*i/N, 1, 0.40>;

without the 'rgb'; or, later in the loop:

pigment {thisRGB}

See Bald Eagle's comment concerning the crash.

CHSL2RGB() return the result as rgbft<Red, Green, Blue, Filter, Transmit>

thisHSL<R,G,B> get promoted to thisHSL<R,G,B,0,0>

The message come from assigning a 5D vector to a 3D destination : There 
is a mismatch.

So, use : pigment {rgbft thisRGB }

Thanks to all for your help.

Now, i use :

   #local thisHSL = rgb <360*i/N, 1, 0.40>;
   #local thisRGB = CHSL2RGB(thisHSL);

and
   pigment { color rgb <thisRGB,0,0> }

... and all is OK :)
