In that case, welcome to the group. But as others will surely tell you,
povray.newusers isn't the proper place to post images. those should go in
povray.binaries.images. It's common practice to either as questions here and
say "hey, i'll post the image over in povray.binaries.images" and people
will take the time to go look.
The black spots are atributed to your radiosity settings. I'm not one to
know the best settings to use though. So no real help from me, eh? ;) Nice
looking Bender, anyway!

Having a cool project like that will most certainly help you learn new tricks
along the way. You code is not that sloppy, but there's a few things I'd like
to comment on:
1 - Your light_source is coincident with the floor, which might not be of great
help. You might want to move it somewhere else. Especially since it is behind
Bender, so your photons wouldn't be seen (none are shot anyways, because no
objects interact with them at this point)
2 - Adding "hollow on" to the plane does not give you anything. Doesn't hurt
either, but
3 - I rewrote your Measuring_Wall object. It could have also been just a plane
or a box with a marble or gradient pigment. I know that it is currently
commented out, but it looks like you weren't aware of the power of the #while()
directive.
#declare Measuring_Wall = union {
//changed to a while loop to reduce size of code
//moved Y1 closer to loop for cleanliness.
//removed Y2 as it is unneeded.
// - F.L.
#declare Y1 = 0.0;
#while( Y1 < 1.6 )
box {
<100,Y1,0>,<-100,Y1+0.1,0.001>
pigment { color rgb Color1 }
}
box {
<100,Y1+0.1,0>,<-100,Y1+0.2,0.001>
pigment { color rgb Color2 }
}
#declare Y1 = Y1 + 0.2;
#end //while
}
//object { Measuring_wall }
4 - This box causes an error because it goes from 1.5 to 1.5 in the Y direction.
I don't know what you were trying to do with it (I don't have enough time to
reverse-engineer that bit of your code), but you might want to look into
changing the value of Eye_Cover_Opening.
#declare EyeCover = intersection {
object {EyeHole2}
box {
<0.1,Eye_Cover_Opening,-0.1835>,<-0.1,1.5,-0.1834>
}
}
Have fun, and be sure to show us your progress. ;)

Forgot to mention:
Images should go in povray.binaries.images. You should have posted the picture
there and said something along the lines of "please see article entitled bla bla
bla in povray.newusers".

Kiss my shiny metal ass.
Good idea for a project, maybe Lila would be a next step ;) ?

"But as others will surely tell you,

My mistake. I'm also new at newsgroups.
"1 - Your light_source is coincident with the floor, which might not be
of great help. You might want to move it somewhere else. Especially
since it is behind Bender, so your photons wouldn't be seen (none are

The photons are leftover from a copy/paste from another scene. They
won't be of any use in this scene, so they'll probably just be removed
completely.
"2 - Adding "hollow on" to the plane does not give you anything."
That would just be the "Insert -> Plane" thing. I didn't think I needed
it... I just never bothered to check.
"3 - I rewrote your Measuring_Wall object. It could have also been just
a plane or a box with a marble or gradient pigment. I know that it is
currently commented out, but it looks like you weren't aware of the
power of the #while() directive."
You would be correct on that. I've never really used any of the if's,
while's and so forth. Someday I'll get into that stuff.
But for now, thanks a ton for the rewrite.
"4 - This box causes an error because it goes from 1.5 to 1.5 in the Y
direction. I don't know what you were trying to do with it (I don't

Well, it's supposed to be a cover for the eye-hole, and I see the error
too. I rewrote it so the other part is 0.01 past the 1.5, so there's no
error.
"Kiss my shiny metal ass.

That might be a bit harder. But I am planning on creating a little
pointy beard for a "Flexo" model, and a gold finish for the alternate
universe Bender.
"Bite my glorious, golden ass!" ;)
Thanks for all the help guys.

Oh, right... I forgot about the black areas...
Any help on that part?
