Of the two, I definitely prefer this one. The facets add a little bit of
 interest to an otherwise fairly simple scene.
... and to ditto Stefan "How did you do the facets?". Knowing your
coding it will be elegant and useful

Nope, emissive media + area lights!

I only really use MegaPOV because of the Intel Mac issue.

Thankyouboth. I too prefer the facets, but I thought it interesting that the
photons with mirrored objects cast light on the floor almost like radiosity.
The smooth version illustrates this better.

For the facets, I actually used the quick-n-dirty mesh approximator that I
posted recently (Called 'Yet more boulders', posted 28th Feb), but with regular
triangles instead of smooth_triangles and a lower resolution parameter, on a
pre#declared sphere.

I'm sure I tried to write a proper discoball generator recently... must see if I
can find it. :)
