Suggestion taken. I've added four example scenes (source included) and a
FAQ to the isoblob page.

I'm planing to get either MSVC 6 or Borland C++ Builder 3 as soon as fall
semester starts and I find out which compiler the university has decided on.

Thank you a lot. This is much more than I expected.

Except for the images, it was. Even some of the images were, with

"This file is larger than 64K. Would you like to edit it in
Wordpad instead?" Some will disagree with me, because they
think design defects can't be bugs, but after four incarnations
of the OS (3.x, 95, 98, and now Millennium) with no real fix in
sight, I would call that one of Microsoft's biggest bugs yet.
Especially the stupid workaround they added instead of fixing
the problem. At least they got it right in NT.

Well, thank you, but would it be possible to have the source code parsed
so that it is HTML compatible (the fourth example is cut by my
navigator after the while(....
This is due to the presence of < and > which should

that'd be people like me - they designed it that way and so it's not a
bug but...

That's a crummy solution indeed. somewhere there's a nice sig (a user
of this server?) which defines Windows to a T. That the default text
editor can't handle anything over 64K (and can actually struggle well
before that IIRC) is terrible.
Oh - there IS a bug in notepad BTW. If you're editing your file and
you put too much in there, it tells you not that the file's grown too
large but that you've run out of memory. Impressive on a 96MB PC I can
tell you...

I just finally got around to tacking it on to superpatch 3.1e, along
with tacking on Nathan's Photon stuff and your heightfield smoothing
patch, and I find that when I render your test image at 640x480 with
no aa, it has a lot of nasty black spots in it. Do you know what's
causing that?
Also, can someone send me some photon test code that uses the new
syntax? The only stuff I could find on this server is for the old
patch with the 'density' modifier.

The isoblob isn't as capable at solving for intersections as a regular
isosurface--and it also is unable to use method 2, which is a distinct
disadvantage, since it means that pigments won't work correctly because
of their lack of an interval solving method. (I don't understand the
method 2 code yet. It'll take a while to figure that one out.) The best
thing to do for now is to turn on aa and let it take care of the black
spots by finding correct intersections nearby.
BTW, I'd like to see the new isosurface files if possible; an addition
of r, theta, and phi will likely force some modifications to my
function-normal code.
