Hi,

I've made a simple animation to test the new (btw very cool!!!)
photon-feature. It consists of a plane, a parabol-mirror, a glass sphere and
a red spotlight which is directed at the mirror. during the animation the
mirror changes it shape causing interesting caustics.
Comments are welcome!

That looks great! Only criticism would be the mirror 'entering' the sphere.
It would be great if the mirror pushed the sphere out of the way.

Very, very nice. I can't tell... Is the sphere also using photons?

thanks :)

yes, the sphere also receives photons, but it hasn't great effect on the
appearance.
