This is why I hate "documentation" compared to direct access to the values and
parameters that something uses.

I think, after 25 years, there ought to be access through SDL, or at least a
text-stream command that regurgitates things that are hidden "under the hood".

And, you probably _are_ looking at the wrong thing, since we're on
3.8.something.

http://wiki.povray.org/content/Reference:Finish#Ambient

"In version 3.8 there has been a Change to the ambient default setting. The
default setting is now ambient 0 as opposed to the ambient 0.1 value used in
previous versions. Requires #version 3.8; or equivalent INI setting or
command-line option. See also: Version Directive."
