Hi, I have a scene with a light beam reflected in a mirror. The beam is made
visible in a media. See details and code here ("Question 3" in the middle of
the page): http://weblog.sitewww.ch/index.php?start_from=45

Everything is OK except when I use spotlights instead of cylinderlights. In
that case the beam disappears after being reflected in the mirror.
Any explanation/suggestion would be a great help since I'm working on it
since weeks... Thanks in advance.

OK, it's solved thanks to Greg...
Clearly photons do not like the "looks_like" statement in the light source
block.

  Did you try adding a "photons { pass_through }" to the object in the
looks_like block?

Yes, but in this case "photons { pass_through }" do not change anything!

Ah...Youpiii... that's it: add "holow" to the object in the looks_like
block.
