60 | Geometric Primitives | Definite Bug | 3.70 beta 34 | Very Low | Medium | Artifacts using prism in CSG | Tracked on GitHub | |
Future release |
Task Description
Using prisms in intersecion or difference CSG objects may cause artifacts in POV-Ray 3.6.2 as well as 3.7.0.beta.34, as demonstrated by the following code:
camera {
right -x
up y*image_height/image_width
location <-24,19,12>
look_at <0,0,0>
}
light_source { <100,200,100> color rgb 1 }
plane { y, -2 pigment { color rgb 1 } }
#declare KeyValue = 1.366; // pick any you like
difference {
prism {
linear_sweep -0.5,0.5, 4
<-3,20-17>,
<-3,KeyValue>,
<-6,-3>,
<-0,-5>
}
intersection {
cylinder { <-7,-0.51,1>, <-7, 0.51,1>, 4.0 }
plane { z, KeyValue }
}
pigment { color rgb 0.5 }
}
Apparently the surface of the other object becomes visible when it exactly coincides with a vertex of the prism; probably there is a failure of the inside() test for such values.

75 | Geometric Primitives | Unimp. Feature/TODO | 3.70 beta 34 | Very Low | Medium | Replace POV_MALLOC with std::vector in shape code | Tracked on GitHub | |
Future release |
Task Description
In the files bezier.cpp, fpmetric.cpp, fractal.cpp, hfield.cpp, isosurf.cpp, lathe.cpp, poly.cpp, polygon.cpp, prism.cpp, sor.cpp, and sphsweep.cpp the use of POV_MALLOC can be replaced by std::vector quite easily because the containing class already is a C++ class. As this is a low hanging fruit for continued code cleanup, it should be done sooner rather than later.
