Just showing to someone how to make gold. This what I achivede in this 
version is more like some bright yellow metal, but I like the scene in 
general (nice warm coloros imho) so I'm posting it.

It took 6 h to render, using 1 M photons, and 100 samples radiosity (with 
is NOT enought as we can nitice some radiosity errors undre "Raf256.com" 
and under ring - in shadow).

What do You think? Any opinions are realy welcome :)

pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))*.3)),2)+.9)#end#macro p(c)#if(c>1)#local l=mod(c,100
