Was testing collisions with a lathe object and I thought this turned out 
pretty cool, mostly due to the caustics.

Larger marbles have more mass than smaller marbles, and I now allow 
variable grip (I used to have infinite friction).

Can't see a blessed thing.
..mov or .mpg isn't possible?

This is cool! Some words about the render times?

The render time was obviously quite long due to the glass and photons, but 
they are still fairly simple objects.  Unfortunatly I didn't take down the 
stats.  With only six spheres the simulation time wasn't a factor.  I was 
running many tests with the spheres to lathe object collisions the other 
night using regular textures.  It was getting late and I had to go to bed 
and tried to think of a way to "spice" up the animation so that it would 
work all night.  So I took the lighting, glass and photon setup I used in 
"The Orange Pill" and added normal pertubation to the spheres.  I got up 
late so didn't have time to check where it was, but it was done when I got 
back home the next day.  I guesstimate it must have taken around 12 hours.
