	I haven't, but if I were to do one, I'd use a plane with a gradient
layered texture, like:

texture {
  pigment {
    gradient x
    pigment_map {
      [ 0.9 color rgbf 0 transmit 1 ]
      [ 0.9 color Blue ]
    }
  }
}
texture {
  pigment {
    gradient z
    color_map {
      [ 0.9 color rgbf 0 transmit 1 ]
      [ 0.9 color Blue ]
    }
  }
}
