I'm very new at Povray.


I want to find intersection of 30 planes and 19 quadratics, plane normals
and points are given in 2-dimensional array p and q, coefficients of
quadratics given in 2-dimensional array qq.


  #declare i=0;
  #declare j=0;


  #while (i<30)


  intersection{

  plane
{<p[i][0],p[i][1],p[i][2]>,p[i][0]*q[i][0]+p[i][1]*q[i][1]+p[i][2]*q[i][2]
}
pigment { color Red}
}

   #while (j<19)

  intersection {

  quadric
  {

<qq[j][2],qq[j][4],qq[j][6]>,<qq[j][7],qq[j][8],qq[j][9]>,<qq[j][1],qq[j][3],qq[j][5]>,qq[j][0]

  }
  pigment { color Red}
 }
  #declare j=j+1;

  #end


  #declare i=i+1;

  #end


 camera {
  location <10,10,50>
  look_at 0
}
light_source { <10, 10, 10> White }
 plane { y, -2 // y means <0,1,0>
  pigment { color Yellow}

}


I just see a black screen, why?

See the other thread about nesting the loops like that.

Is it possible that the light source or the camera end up inside the shape?

You are great Chris! Thanks a lot! Now I get the image!
