  Container object visible. :( (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

I'm rendering the final YAHI, and halfway through the second pass for
radiosity, I spot the error. The same error that stopped me from finishing
it before. The container object of the media for the guy is visible. You can
clearly see the edges and a slight color difference from the outside and the
inside. :( I thought that UVPOV somehow fixed this, but I wasn't able to use
it, because I needed some SuperPatch stuff, so finally when MegaPOV comes
out, here I am anxious to get the results I waited so long for, and this
happens. How can I fix it? Remember that I have a media in a container
within a larger media in a container, plus radiosity. Of course, I'm using
rgbf 1 on both containers. Is this wrong?

It shouldn't be visible.  Could you send me a small scene that shows the
bug?  Thanks.

This is a little embarrasing, but it seems to be a visual trick that happens
with the textures and the angle they are seen from that you can, with just
an eensy bit of imagination (like I've got a ton of) see a circular shape,
which I interpreted as a 'visible' container. Then it struck me, how come
you see a sphere, when the media is inside a cone? I continued the rendering
and realized that things looked better after the radiosity passes. Sorry to
have worried you about nothing. ^_^*
