Hmm, that is indeed a strange thing. When I raised the light_source, the dots
disappeared. Even if I put y*10.000001 for the light_source. Anything over ten
unit high makes the dots go away. Looks like a bug to me. You scene is neat,
by the way. The glow (after changing the light_source) is cool.

I just tried lower numbers and they make the dots go away too. Maybe 10 is the
magic number?
