MEGAPOV is known to be several times faster than POV (which is not a very

all I get is a black picture and a no objects in scene warning.  Does
MegaPOV utilize some new object coding or am I doing something wrong.

Here's my code snippet:

version unofficial MegaPov 1.0;

#declare connect5_dot_dat = object{
                      union {
                        difference {
                          merge {
                            cylinder {<0,-18,0>,<0,-20,0>,6.5}
                            cylinder {<0,-18,0>,<0,-2,0>,6}
                            cylinder {<0,0,0>,<0,-2,0>,8}
                          }
                          box {<-7,-12,-1>,<7,-21,1>}
                          cylinder {<0,1,0>,<0,-21,0>,4}
                          box {<-1,1,9>,<1,-10,-9>}
                        }
                      }
                    }

object {
  object {connect5_dot_dat}
  material{
    texture {
      pigment { rgb <0.968627,0.160784,0.054902> }
      finish {
        ambient 0.4
        diffuse 0.4
        phong 0.5
        phong_size 40
        reflection 0.08
      }
      normal {
        bumps 0.01
        scale 20
      }
    }
  }
}

sky_sphere {
  pigment {
    gradient -y
    color_map {
      [0.5 rgb 1.25]
      [1 rgb <.5,.7,1>*1.1]
    }
  }
}

camera {
location <30,30,30>
look_at  <0,0,0>

}

(...) Can you share those settings? On the radiosity block, try playing with the "count" parameter. Lower settings (even 1) will speed up the rendering, but sometimes they cause gross artifacts that dissapear at higher settings. (...) MEGAPOV is (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
