This is confusing me...

In "6.10.2.2  Shooting Photons at an Object"
"If you use the no_shadow keyword, the object will be tagged as pass_through
automatically."

vs.

In "6.10.5  Photons FAQ"
"Note that photons ignore the no_shadow keyword. You should use photons {
pass_through } if you want photons to pass through objects unaffected."


is this correct ?

Hmmm... test it and see what happens.  My guess is that 5.10.2.2 is a new
functionality that we added, because much of what is in 6.10.5 is OLD photon
FAQ from UV-Pov (even before MegaPov).  Some of the FAQ was updated, but
some apparantly was not.
