I will check it, thanks.

May be it will help, but for this method I would like to stay sticked to
Matlab's generated geometry. Little bit late I will implement method that
completely replace 'surf' with POV-only techiques. I am sure, that it will work
much faster, et least.
Present implementation was only the first experiment, which helps me to start
working with POV and explore Matlab's geometry structures.

One of the easiest things to do when looking for "wrong" surface normals is to
use an interior_texture {} which will color the opposite face of the triangles a
different color. Then you don't have to even look at the code - just look at
the triangles in the render.

Thanks for this tip, I will check surface with it !

..... but only if I will be able. Can't figure out how to push interior_texture
into texture_list, this way is not working:
smooth_triangle {<-8.00, -8.00, -1.51>, <0.19, 0.19, 0.96>,
<-8.00, -7.67, -1.62>, <0.07, 0.07, 1.00>,
<-7.67, -7.67, -1.64>, <-0.06, -0.06, 1.00>
#declare t1=texture { pigment {rgb<1.00, 0.66, 0.00>} finish {f} }
#declare t2=texture { pigment {rgb<1.00, 0.61, 0.00>} finish {f} }
#declare t3=texture { pigment {rgb<1.00, 0.61, 0.00>} finish {f} }
#declare it1=interior_texture { pigment {rgb<0, 0, 0>} }
#declare it2=interior_texture { pigment {rgb<0, 0, 0>} }
#declare it3=interior_texture { pigment {rgb<0, 0, 0>} }
texture_list {t1 t2 t3}
texture_list {it1 it2 it3}
}

only one interior, per mesh. insert just before the scale.

oops, forgot. you may need to make the object "hollow", too.

Thanks, I'v checked it - normals are normal.
It's strange: flat surface looks good, oposite to peaked.

So, I worked out my own scene, using your equation, storing the <x, f(r), z> in
a 2D array, analytically calculating the vertex normals using fast forward
differencing to get the tangents by numerically approximating the partial
derivatives, then taking the vector cross product, and then making a mesh with
smooth_triangles with per-vertex normals.
(After horribly botching that 5 times in a row, I got the normals, and therefore
the triangles all working nicely.)
No textures for any of the triangles.
mesh {
loop over arrays to make triangles
texture {gradient y}
interior_texture
}
I get a much steeper curve than you do, so I don't know if there's some kind of
scaling going on somewhere in the process.
I hard-coded the pigment_map for the texture, but it could probably be
calculated from the HSV2RGB macro in colors.inc
