Thank you Tek.

The background is just two plain discs behind each
other. Apart from the object itself there are no
other objects in the scene. (There is of course a
light source to produce the highlit spot.)

The disc closest to the camera is black and covers
just the view of the camera.

The other disc is white and is placed right behind
the black one. It's radius is 10 times bigger.
(It can be replaced with an infinite plane.)

I hope that I can find time to clean up the code and
show it later this week.
