Hi

I'm a newer student of CG and radiosity. I just find out POV-Ray. I'm trying to
put two mirros face to face, in the middle of them has a sphere. I would like
to put the camara side by side the sphere to generete a infinite reflexion of
sphere in the two mirror. After some reflexion it stop because in the mirrors
is create a black square. Why? is my question. How I fix it. Thanks a lot.

Follow my pov text:

The number of reflections that POVRay will process for each ray is 
controlled by max_trace_level. It's usually kept quite small, because in 
most scenes the contribution from deep reflections is negligible, but 
the computation required can be significant.

You can set max_trace_level like this:

global_settings {max_trace_level 256}
