Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding texture_list applied to mesh of very small size.
I've noticed that in such case artifacts appear in the texture. I can avoid the
problem by scaling up the input mesh (generated by another app), and scaling it
back down in the POV-Ray script, but if possible I'd like to avoid that.
I guess this is a problem related to numerical accuracy, so maybe there is a
parameter somewhere that would help ?? Or, is there something else I'm not aware
of, and doing wrong ?
Please find below a small script reproducing the problem. In the rendered image,
both triangles should look the same. The left one has initial coordinates of
order 0.01, while the right one has initial coordinates of order 0.1 and is
scaled by 0.1. These doesn't look to me as unreasonably small values...
(The same artifact occurs if using mesh2)

Thanks in advance for your help.
Pascal
