SNIP some more interesting ideas

Thanks for all the ideas! To be honest, I hadn't spent much thought on using
interior_texture, instead I went for ultra-realism: make the media dense
enough so that it looks real and I still get the shadows... But the approach
you mention seems to be very good and with proper tweaking could be useful,
though I'm not sure how well interior_texture works with multiple
overlapping objects etc...

At the least, I'll keep it in mind. For now, I'm working on my short movie
again, and have just coded a new particle System with Object Interaction. So
the Go-Game is on a hold for now...

Regards,
Tim
