The following additions were made to the *.pov file: #version 3.6; #include "rad_def.inc" global_settings { max_trace_level 10 radiosity { Rad_Settings(Radiosity_Final, on, off) } } light_source { // X, Y, Z <-1000, -1500, -1000> color rgb 1.0 area_light 200, 200, 10, 10 jitter } #declare LDXSkipLight1 = 1; #declare LDXSkipLight2 = 1; #declare LDXSkipLight3 = 1; and in the end: // Fog fog { distance LDXRadius*25 color rgb 1 } The rendering was done as 1280x1810 (portrait A4 at 155 dpi). The pdf generated by LPub was postprocessed using: pdfcrop --bbox "0 166 596 1008" tree.pdf tree-cropped.pdf To make it A4 sized.
