Hi!

I like to draw spheres of 1000 in 3D box. Is it possible?

I have 3-dimensional positions of spheres. How, I don't know how to put the
positions of spheres of 1000 on the program. As you know, it is difficult
to write position of each sphere on the program.

Thank you in advance.

James

I do not really understand what you mean but this question belongs  the
"povray.newusers" group, try there, you have more chances to get a proper
answer

If you only want to a simple location then this does it:
/*   Creates a set of spheres on a regular cube layout and spins them
/*   set +kff = 180 and +kc = 1 in povray.ini  */

#include "textures.inc"

#declare MyClock = clock;
#declare St = 2;

#declare Xs = 0;
#declare Qube =
union {#while ( Xs<=10)
         #declare Ys = 0;
         #while ( Ys<=10)
             #declare Zs = 0;
             #while (Zs <= 10)
                sphere { <Xs,Ys,Zs>,0.25 pigment {
rgb<.1+Xs/11,0.1+Ys/11,0.1+Zs/11>} finish { Glossy } }
                #declare Zs = Zs + St;
             #end
             #declare Ys = Ys + St;
         #end
         #declare Xs = Xs + St;
       #end
      }

object { Qube translate -5 rotate MyClock*360}
light_source { 1e3 rgb 1 }

camera { location <400,300,-600> look_at 0 angle 2 }
background { rgb 0.5 }

Greetings,

For a really simple case, where the spheres are uniformly spaced with no
collisions....But for the general case of arbitrary spheres or objects,
you'll need 'suds.pov'
