Right   :-)

Thats better...because a less-reflective part is "dirtier" and have a bigger
and darker highlight (in POV:  a smaller brilliance, phong- and phong_size
value).
<br>With a finish_map is would be also possible to create dirtier scenes
(e.g. different ambient/diffuse values to simulate worse painted walls...a
splotchy-effect).

Automate the process with a batch file or shell script.  Using the alpha
channel from one image with the other can probably be done with the GIMP's
or Photoshop's automation features.

Another solution (at least for method 1 antialiasing) would be to use the
differential tracing method I've mentioned far too many times before.  I
think I may sit down sometime in the next couple of weeks and see how hard
it is to implement that.

Instead of using the alpha channel, you can give all objects a
quick_color rgb 1 and render with +q0. Then you can use this image as
a image_patterm with no interpolation. There you are, all you need is
POV.

All you need is POV (ta tada tadaaa)
All you need is POV (ta tada tadaaa)
All you need is POV, POV,
POV is all you need

For some reason I suddenly feel like stepping on a beetle.
