Yeah - each pane's edge is cut via CSG (actually with a double bevel), and I
apply an averaged normal to the difference object, so the cut is both rough (via
micro normals) and wavy (via a stretched bozo).

I'm using absorbing media to colour the glass, and I ended up using Robert
McGregor's dielectric macros from
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3C4d524dfb%241%40news.povray.org%3E/
for the reflectance, etc.

Attached is another angle.

Cheers,
Edouard.
