Daniel,
You can do whatever you want if you dare to edit the POV file before
rendering. POVRay isn't that difficult to fafthom, and there are lots of
things you can do that creates a better render. Like this:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=16707 for example (I think I
can still dig out the POV code for this old render if you're interested).

You can experiment with the 'reflection' value for the colors. A lower value
gives lower reflection. Take a POV file and replace all 'reflection 0.08' by
reflection 0.06' for example.
A better solution would be to have color definitions where the reflection is
using a global constant, like AMB and DIF.

I've always used the 'sky-sphere' command in POVRay. Has not created any
color problems for me. Some renders and POV code at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=167437 and
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3296

Tim already gave you the easy answer, another solution is to set a special
color for the rubber and experiment in POVRay.

| Just a few questions that I've been having a need to be answered. If anyone can help me out.....? Something that I've never liked about my renders in POV-Ray is that the bricks are way too reflective. Sometimes they're as reflective as the mirrored (...)
