Nah, it is a lot more fun to do everything by yourself :) This project
actually started because I didn't know C++ (nor Linux X programming) at
all. Then i saw this thread and got really interested in path tracing.

And I love the results so far: it is so easy to make more realistic
looking images with a path tracer than with "conventional" ray tracer
IMO. Even the last sphere image I posted looks so natural to me. I
wonder how easy it would be to reproduce it with POV.
