MegaPov was used, but the only features used were blurred reflections,
variable reflection, method 3 media and radiosity.

Fade_color was not used as absorption media gave a better glass
effect. (Fade_color gives the glass an appearance of being an ambient
light source.)

Photons were not used as test renders with photons showed no
improvements over regular caustics for 1 and 2, so I didn't try it for
the others.

I'm currently rendering a new Sculpture (number 6), also tested with
photons, and again gone for plain caustics.
