By the way, if you really want to have all sorts of info about the photon
mapping in UVPov, download the PostScript file linked from
http://nathan.kopp.com/photons.htm.  That PS file is the paper that I wrote
for my directed study, and it probably contains more info than you want or
need.  It lacks tips and tricks, because I did not know of many tips or
tricks when I wrote the paper.

  Nathan, by any chance would you happen to have this document in another
form such as plain text or Adobe Acrobat or HTML? I don't have anything to
read a Postscript file with. However, don't go through the hassle of
converting it or anything like that - I'm just curious.

You should really get a version of "ghostscript" and "ghostview". The 
former is a free Postscript-Interpreter, the latter a viewer that uses
it. They are available for a lot of OSes (e.g. Windows, OS/2, Linux,
Solaris,...). Furthermore, ghostscript can be used to print the documents
on a variety of printers.

Both programs should be available on your favorite ftp server.

I chose PS format for cost & portability.  While Acrobat viewer is free, the
creator is not.  The paper was written in Wordperfect, and the "save as
HTML" feature is far from perfect.  And, as mentioned, PS viewers are
available, and PS creators are as easy to come by as your favorite PS
printer driver.  If enought people request HTML, I'll put together an HTML
version, though.

GhostScript for Unix comes with a free ps2pdf utility.  It's not perfect, but 
if you used normal PostScript fonts it'll work pretty well.
