a photon is cast from a light source, then
travels intro the scene. The scene can focus
photons on a spot or disperse them, creating
dark areas. Here, the dominos are superellipsoids
with a wrinkles normal.

The max_trace_level is 5, both for photons
and for normal light, which is ok for most
scenes.

I may render with a deeper level, and more
photons, but I can't increase the photon
density a lot more: it already takes 700 M
of memory, and I only have 1G of physical
memory on by linux box (the render-slave.)

Best,

    S.
