Looking that stuff over the particle size thing for media would be great
wouldn't it?  Adjustment from chunky dust to gases maybe, and using a
similar concept as the angle dependant reflections the way it reads there
anyhow.  Interesting stuff anyhow, but what difference would such an
addition make to have that Torrence-Sparrow-Blinn-Cook thing in POV?  To get
a more overall angle dependance using diffuse reflection as well?
