The first time I noticed it was while rendering in POV-ray a part for which
the .pov file was generated via L3P. The part consisted of four identical
subparts meeting at (0,0,0). I mirrored the subpart in the manner of
8-8sphe.dat, so that the single subpart was repeated four times. When I
ran POV-ray, a seam appeared between each pair of subparts, though I don't
believe these seams were present in the DAT file itself, nor in the display of
L3Lab. It's possible, as I mentioned elsewhere, that I haven't lined up the
subparts precisely, and, while the gap might be invisible in L3Lab, it shows
up clearly on POV-ray.
I didn't have the chance to generate the .pov last night; I'll try again
tonight, as well as examining the DAT file to make sure alignment isn't a
factor.
Dave!
(by the way, thanks for your help on my "gappy spheroids" problem; despite the
fact that I wasn't explaining my problem clearly, your explanation made me
realize what I was doing wrong!)
