Hey thanks everybody...PoseRay worked well for me. :)

But I have this little doubt...actually I did modified my scene file in
Java.What I did was...I had all the vertices for all the triangles so I
calculated normal for each triangle..and used the same normal for all the
vertices for this semantics.... smooth_triangle{ v1,n,v2,n,v3,n}
I thought this should have been worked but it didn't..So could you please
explain this to me..why this didnt worked??
