Of course I will! After all, it was because you beat me to it that I
gave up doing my virtual light sources patch. You mentioned once that
you implemented faked (not using real wavelengths, of coz) dispersion
in your patch. That's nice. Now the question is, what amound of
photons do I have to shoot from the sun so that a reasonable number of
them passes through a 1 inch wide slit, hits my palm and illuminates
the room with radiosity, caustics and dispersion at that? Maybe you
should incorporate some way to explicitly specify higher concentration
of the photons where they are needed.
