I am a new POV-RAY user and i have alittle problem with difference. :(
(im using ver 3.02 for win95)

If i use difference to cut something and do not give the second object
a pigment, the cut-surface becomes black ? :(  in the toturial it
stated that it woud take the color of the first object ??

Even If i use the difference example in the Pov tutorial ... the one
with the blue cylinder  and just remove the pigment i get a black
pigment, cut surface.

I kow it's easy to just make the second object the same color as the
first but if i use a wood texture and want it to look is if its cut
out then it wont work cause the textures wont mach up. 

pls help me find a way around the problem or tell me where i have made
an error.

Thanx:)

Just apply the texture *after* the difference operation has been performed.

As long as you don't translate the difference result before you apply the
texture, it will match up perfectly. (Pov-Ray's textures are procedurals)
