A room with curtains and other semi-transparent thingumajigs illuminated from
behind.

This shot uses some brand-new experimental POV-Ray 3.7 beta code, in an attempt
to show off, interacting with photons and high-depth radiosity (4 recursions,
though 2 would have sufficed). No media involved whatsoever.

50 minutes total render time on a Core i7 2.7GHz Quad system, mostly due to
radiosity and photons.

The POV-Ray patch allows surfaces to pick up illumination from the back side,
similar to the "double_illuminate" feature, but capable of
interoperating with photons and radiosity, as well as allowing to control the
effect's intensity.
