Thank you all for your explanations!

It all looks really nice now.

Now I'm fighting with animating it. That works but there are spots (e.g.
corners) that flicker while moving. I think it has to do with the radiation
element. I took care of the photo-mapping (in first scene do a save and do a
load in all other frames)
