well if there is no mirror reflecting a lightray exacly into your eye you
wont see any bright reflections
the mirorball finish is reflection .9 ambient+diffuse .1
real mirrorballs sometimes glitter due to reflections off the edges of the
mirrors. That would mean using superellipsoids instead of polygones for the
mirrors. Maybe i should give it a try.
