  Re: Focal Blur in POV-Ray
 
I have two comments. First of all, I see in your non-blurred render that the POVRay you have doesn't have Lars Hassing's Torus Patch. Take a look at this page, where Lars describes the problem, and provides the fix: (URL) that the fix is included in (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Focal Blur in POV-Ray
 
I got this to work in POVRay 3.5. I am not sure if it will work for other versions.

  Re: How do I specify colors not part of MLCAD?
 
(...) You'll find that many of the colors on that list are already recognized by MLCad. For instance, if you type 383 in as a color number, and then hit Tab, it shows Chrome as the color name. Of course, this isn't all that helpful, since you had to (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  How do I specify colors not part of MLCAD?
