hello all. I have an application where I would like to render scenes involving
multiple mirrors and I would like to be able to trace which object is
represented by a given pixel or region of pixels in a rendered image and if
possible get some kind of backtrace of mirrored surfaces the raytracer
encountered while rendering the pixel(s).

Is there a way to do this and if so where would I look to find out how? Thanks.
