default finish:

#default{ finish{ ambient 0.1 diffuse 0.9 }}

default finish

In POV-Ray version 3.7 with radiosity ambient is replaces by emission.
With radiosity on ambient is 0. For 3.7 scenes that work also in 3.6 use i.e.:

#if (version < 3.7) ambient 1 #else emission 1 #end

ambient <-> emission

default gamma setting: (3.6/3.7)

global_settings{ assumed_gamma 1.0 }
#default{ finish{ ambient 0.1 diffuse 0.9 }}

default finish and gamma setting versions 3.6.2 / 3.7

max_trace_level:

global_settings { max_trace_level 10 }//(1...256) [default = 5]

max_trace_level 10

charset:

global_settings{ charset utf8 }  // unicode  
global_settings{ charset ascii } // ascii (only 0 to 127 are valid)
global_settings{ charset sys }   // system specific charset

charset - specifies the assumed character set of all text strings

Noise generators:

global_settings {  noise_generator 1 }

noise_generator 1

global_settings {  noise_generator 2 }

noise_generator 2

global_settings {  noise_generator 1 }

noise_generator 3

adc_bailout

global_settings{ adc_bailout 0.0039 }

adc_bailout - sets cutoff point of ray computation (1/255 default)

number_of_waves

global_settings{ number_of_waves 10 }

number_of_waves - sets how many instances of waves/ripples to use

irid_wavelength

global_settings{ irid_wavelength <0.25, 0.18, 0.14> }

irid_wavelength - sets the color shifts for iridescence (irid {})

hf_gray_16

global_settings{ hf_gray_16 on } // [on/off]

hf_gray_16 - sets image output to use grayscale only (TGA, PNG)

max_intersections: // don't use it with POV-Ray version 3.7 !!!!

global_settings { max_intersections 200 } //(1...200) [default = 64]

max_intersections 200
