  noisy rendering of a polynomial "cube" (Message 1 to 9 of 9)

Problem: The object looks noisy, even with "sturm" enabled. :-(

How can I get a smooth rendering? Is it possible for "poly" objects to
enforce some "precomputing" or the like?

I rendered with

  -ibutterfly.pov +d +v -p +w800 +h600 +sp8 +ep8 +a0.1 +am2 +r3

it took 3½ minutes, with -a it took 27 seconds but looks very ugly due
to the noises. :-(

  The noisy look is a combined effect of the filtered color of the 
object and the checkered plane which is reflected on and in the object. 
If you want no noisy effect here, you have to set filter to 0 or change 
the pattern of the plane.

I have said some stupidity, the checkered plane is not in cause, only 
the filtered color cause the noisy effect. Maybe it is a side-effect of 
the polynomial object, since the noise is not present with a box.

I know. But how can I fix that? (No, replacing the poly with a box is
not an option. ;-))

If you don't need transparent object, you just have to change the color 
like this:

pigment { color rgb <1,0.7,0.2> }
and remove the interior statement.

I need it, hence I made it semi-transparent and refractive. I like the
"gummi bear look".

I don't know why but, after some tries, it seems that only the 
polynomial and poly objects are affected by this noise with filtered 
colors.
We need developper's help here, I can't explain more, sorry.

Lionel :(

See the post /noise with polynomial object/ in p.bugreports.

I converted it to an isosurface.  It takes 80% more time, but at least it's
smooth.
________________________________________________

isosurface
{ function
  {   pow (x, 6) + pow (y, 6) + pow (z, 6)
    - 3 * (pow (x, 4) + pow (y, 4) + pow (z, 4))
  }
  max_gradient 115
  contained_by { box { -2, 2 } }

  pigment { color rgbf<1,0.7,0.2,0.5> }
//  normal { granite 0.1 }
  finish { phong 0.6 }
  interior { ior 1.5 }
}
