Hello!

Can somebody please help me with my non-fluent-gradients? I'm using Pov-ray v3.1 and
when I try to make a gradient-background like a dawn or something, I keep 
getting this really annoying "lines". I mean, you can see very clearly where one color
starts and the other ends, you know what I mean? 

I hope somebody can help me with this!

regards,

Bas Leerintveld

I think you are trying to watch the image on a 16-bit colour screen. If 
this is the case, change it to 24-bit or higher.

Yep, either that or the video is not good anyhow. Or you may even have
the color_map setup wrong(?). Is it in the form of:

 color_map {
  [0 color rgb<1,0,0>]
  [.3 color rgb<1,1,0>]
  [.6 color rgb<0,1,1>]
  [1 color rgb<0,0,1>]
 }

? Or perhaps:

 color_map {
  [0,.3 color rgb<1,0,0> color rgb<1,1,0>]
  [.3,.6 color rgb<1,1,0> color rgb<0,1,1>]
  [.6,1 color rgb<0,1,1> color rgb<0,0,1>]
 }

And if wrapping it:

 color_map {
  [0,.1 color rgb<0,0,1> color rgb<1,0,0>] //begins blue
  [.1,.3 color rgb<1,0,0> color rgb<1,1,0>]
  [.3,.6 color rgb<1,1,0> color rgb<0,1,1>]
  [.6,1 color rgb<0,1,1> color rgb<0,0,1>] //ends blue
 }

Try rendering larger.  Color patterns are just as prone to aliasing as
geometry.  There's no way to get grey between a white and black line if
you only render two lines.
