povray + photons caustics and refractive color dispersion ("rainbow")...

I was supposed to begin the ladders, but thanks to Jim and the following 
link, I did not. :)

I felt like emulating it. Recreated from scratch, using the experience 
with the previous model to avoid a few pitfalls. Failed to capture the 
subtleties of the rough glass material and bumps, but in my opinion, 
perfect smooth glass looks much better anyway...

And let's admit, glass slippers are a tremendous must to showcase a 
raytracer. It's refractive and reflective, got deliciously curvy surface 
and it's not as hard to create as, say, a car...

48 minutes on a Q6600, most of it spent on the front, which folds upon 
itself and receives all those caustics and refractive dispersion...
