Hello,

I'm traying to put this looking up, but when I use the rotate vector I can't
do it. What's the problem?
The code:

#include "colors.inc"
#include "shapes.inc"
#include "stones.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
  background { White }
  camera {location <170, 11, -110> look_at  <180, -15, -16> }
  light_source { <170, -30, -100> color White}
===============My object===========
#declare Cuc =
   blob {

     sphere {
       <0, 5, 0>, 2, 1
       pigment { Red } }
scale 1
translate <190, -20, 0> no_shadow
}
===================================

=========The macro===================
#macro Make_Stuff (Stuff,How_Many)
#local Ample=-12;

#while (Ample<How_Many)
    object{Stuff  rotate <0,0*Ample,0> translate<3*Ample,11*cos
(Ample/8),0> }
    #local Ample=Ample+1;
  #end
#end
#declare layer = union {Make_Stuff (Cuc,-11)}
global_settings { max_trace_level 29 }

// Fi de Bicapa en una sola dimensio
//Bicapa en les dos dimensions del pla de la membrana.
#macro Make_Many (Stuff,How_Many)
#local Fons=0;

#while (Fons<How_Many)
    object{Stuff  translate <0,5*sin (Fons/8),3*Fons>}
    #local Fons=Fons+1;
  #end
#end
// Incrementar el nombre de bicapes unidimensionals per a fer una membrana
mes fonda. 50 molecules de lipid de fons funciona be, 72 amb el

union {Make_Many (layer,10)}
global_settings { max_trace_level 32 }
================================

Thanks,
Oleguer

hi.

for starters, I'd personally remove that translate line in the Cuc
definition, just the same as I'd make the blob's sphere centred on the
origin rather than <0,5,0>.
As I'm not fluent in whatever language it is your comments are on (some
latin american form of spanish?), I could only get a vague idea of what you
want to make and I can't make sure what it is, but my guess is that the
rotation happening after a <190, -20, 0> translation is likely to get all
those blobs in rather weird places. Also, the translations before rotation
seem a bit arbitrary, and the rotation itself involves rotating <0, 0, 0>,
so no rotation happens at all! also, any particular reason for that
max_trace_level 32? I see no reflecting or translucent surfaces, nor
anything else that I know needs trace level adjustment.

hope I've been of help.

Hello,

I'm sorry about the coments, I forgot to change them. The language is
Catalan.
The reason for the "max_trace_level" is that I have take this macro from
other picture of mine.
Well, I want to put the Cuc object towards up and now I have solved my
problem.
Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Oleguer
