Hi,

another question:

Is it possible to inherit pigment and finish seperately?

I'd like to do something like



object {
union {

   box with pigment color red ...
   box with pigment color green ...
   box with pigmetn color blue ...


}
finish {reflection  0.3}}


i.e. to give the parts of a union different colors while defining other
parts of the texture globally for all parts of the union. It does not
seem to work, the colors red/green/blue seem to completely override all
texture settings including the finish...



regards
Hadmut

Any texture attributed to a component in an union will override the one given to the
whole union. 
When you define a pigment, you are using the default texture altered by your pigment.
Unless you define it otherwise, the default texture is texture{pigment{rgb
0}finish{ambient 0.1 
diffuse 0.6 reflection 0}}
That finish is thus effectively given to your components and everride the one given to
the whole union.
