It should be very easy with Severi's unbiased renderer when (IF) it goes 
public if custom BDRF shaders will be available.

In the meantime I'm creating my own java raytracer (just an API; POV-SDL 
parser might come later).
My question is: once I create the framework (the abstract methods) is 
there anyone which would like to help me create the primitives (torus, 
superellipsoid...) or shaders (preferably thread-safe)?
