Hello everyone,

For a research project, I need to make a physically accurate simulation of
candlewax. I have taken a photo of what it looks like when I embed a small
black bead in a cube of wax and shine a light on it:

However, in POVRay, I cannot get the wax material to interact with the
sphere:

Am I forgetting something, or is POVRay incapable of rendering this (without
hacks, e.g. blur)?

Thanks in advance,
Charles
