I was writing a kind of Povray Material Editor for JPatch, but thought 
that this might be useful as an applet too.

http://3dgallery.dhs.org/raytracing/

Ok, this applet is a (very simple) realtime-raytracer. It tries to 
emulate POV-Rays lighting model (but it does not support procedural 
textures). You can change 15 parameters by moving some sliders and the 
result is being raytraced in realtime. It can also create a POV-SDL texture.

It might help new Povray users to get a feeling of what impact the 
different parameters have.

The result isn't 100% what POV-Ray does, I'll have to read through the 
POV-Ray sourcecode to get better "compatibility"...

Source is available, let me know your comments/questions/suggestions

Have fun...
