The mesh was added to Chris' stargate glyph post, over in
povray.binaries.scene-files,

The event horizon has become another exercise in pulling out true map colors
(again)

The planets were looking like all was needed was radiosity and array lighting.
Now I'm washed out again.

#declare event =
disc { <0, 0, 0>,  -z, 1
   texture {
     normal {
        waves 0.2
        rotate z*45
        frequency 5000
        scale 180
        phase clock*-.5
     }
     pigment {
       image_map {
          png "eventtex.png"
          once
          transmit all .5 filter all 0
       }
       scale <1,1,1>
    }
    finish {
      ambient 0
      brilliance 2
      diffuse 1.2
      metallic
      specular 0.1
      roughness 1/80
      reflection 0.5
    }
    scale 2
    translate <-1,-1,0>
  }
}

results in 20-30 more minutes
