Hi, Reading this made me add a few of Lanuhum's properties among which the
"hollow" keyword option to objects properties interface, otherwise objects are
solid or as much as pov does it. The inside_vector wasn't supported yet but
maybe we could add it using the object's origin. that way, if people want a
specific inside vector they can just mov object's origin knowing that its
coordinates will be used for inside vector?
