I fixed the waterball, the main file and keep the several golf balls 
just to see what it looks like. Result by Tuesday maybe (will be busy 
until then).

I was thinking about photons but didn't dare to try (rendering time).

I think we have also to find a way to collaborate on the rendering. 
Since each ball (or future small scene) is contained within a box the 
image can certainly be rendered by several different people, hoping 
there won't be much (light) interaction between subparts.
What do you think ?
