Hello,
I mentioned this idea recently as a side-note to an image posting
(http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3Cweb.4cf3d937758d7bd8966554e20%40news.povray.org%3E/),
but I've thought about it some more and I'm wondering if it would be a good idea
to make an official feature request at the bug tracking website.
Here's the idea: Generalize the light_group concept into a group of scene
elements that only affect each other in terms of reflections, radiosity, etc. -
essentially a mini-scene within the scene. Allow these groups to be nested.
Currently, the light_group, no_shadow, no_reflection, and no_radiosity tags
provide a great deal of functionality, but this may be a more flexible method to
achieve additional effects. I have no idea how easy or difficult this may be to
implement, I'm just wondering what others think.
Any comments?
Regards,
Dave Blandston

I'd like to add that with this concept one could significantly optimize the
render time for certain scenes as well!

That would depend upon the implementation.
