I thought the media-code could be used for that, just instead of calculating
the color of the "current particle" change the direction-vector of the
traced ray ???
Quite the idea of adding a new type in the media-part, equal to emission,
absorption and scattering there could be something called
optical_density....
But I think the samplecount in media has to be increased dramatically...

Now, You are the coders ... that was just, what came into my mind ...
