Hi all,

I have one code as following with two cylinders in x and z axes:

#include "colors.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
#include "shapes.inc"
#include "stones.inc"


background{White}
camera {
location <1., 2, -2.1>
look_at <0, 0, 0>
}

cylinder {  //MOT Beams in x axis
<-5, 0, 0>, // Center of one end
<5, 0, 0>, // Center of other end
0.3 // Radius
//open // Remove end caps
hollow
texture {
 pigment{ color rgbft <0.2,0.64,1,0.9,0.42>} }
//rotate <0,45,0>
}


cylinder {  //MOT Beams in z axis
<0, 0, -8>, // Center of one end
<0, 0, 8>, // Center of other end
0.3 // Radius
//open // Remove end caps
hollow
texture {
 pigment{ color rgbft <0.2,0.64,1,0.9,0.42>} }
//rotate <0,45,0>
}

 light_source
    {
        <5, 5, 0>, color White cylinder
        shadowless
    }

It is ok. However, if I add the third beams in y axis:

#include "colors.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
#include "shapes.inc"
#include "stones.inc"


background{White}
camera {
location <1., 2, -2.1>
look_at <0, 0, 0>
}


cylinder {  //MOT Beams in x axis
<-5, 0, 0>, // Center of one end
<5, 0, 0>, // Center of other end
0.3 // Radius
//open // Remove end caps
hollow
texture {
 pigment{ color rgbft <0.2,0.64,1,0.9,0.42>} }
//rotate <0,45,0>
}


cylinder {  //MOT Beams in y axis
<0, -5, 0>, // Center of one end
<0, 5, 0>, // Center of other end
0.3 // Radius
//open // Remove end caps
hollow
texture {
 pigment{ color rgbft <0.2,0.64,1,0.9,0.42>} }
//rotate <0,45,0>
}

cylinder {  //MOT Beams in z axis
<0, 0, -8>, // Center of one end
<0, 0, 8>, // Center of other end
0.3 // Radius
//open // Remove end caps
hollow
texture {
 pigment{ color rgbft <0.2,0.64,1,0.9,0.42>} }
//rotate <0,45,0>
}

 light_source
    {
        <5, 5, 0>, color White cylinder
        shadowless
    }


There will be a black overlapping cube.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks so much!

Mi

Multiple overlapping transparent objects nee higher max_trace_level

In this case
   global_settings {  max_trace_level 7}
suffices.
