Hi

I am looking for a way to generate a triangle that has a normal and
color at each corner. Currently, the smooth_triangle will apparently
only handle a normal at each corner. Have I overlooked something trivial
? Can this be done at all in POVRAY ?

TNX in advance

 life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none
 of it has tried to contact us.

  Chris Colefax has an include file that will color each corner of a
triangle. I am not sure how it handles normal calculations if at all
but if you need more info on his file don't hesitate to email him
directly. He is very helpful in this regard.

Works just great ! Normals can be handled just as well

make a .gif file of your triangle and bound it with the
size and shape you like

  Why? It's much more easy to use a texture.
