Hi Christoph:

  Yes, but only for the moment... :) Anyhow the final render will not be
very big. I heavily use the low resolution to hide my lazyness. :(

  Again, I must try MegaPOV...

  Of course! I think it works prety well for leaves. There is also a bit
of filter.

  Well, I don't know if the version I have is really a "working one".
That is, I don't know if it really follows perfectly the original
algoritm. But it surely gives results very similar to the images from
the original paper. 

  Mine is a version revised by Ive (I've done nothing here) to use his
CIE.inc included on Lightsys. Philippe allowed it to be part of the next
Lightsys version, wich I will release soon (as always, making the docs
and examples is a real pain...).

  Thanks for the comments!
