What may be throwing me a curve about it, I happened to think, is that
real world objects are seldom perfect. This means there would usually be
more concentrated caustics as well as more diffuse showing up side by
side on the floor under the spheres (and bet you knew that already).
Perhaps a tiny amount of some slightly turbulent spherical normal would
suffice.
I hate to suggest things all the time but I've been posting here at the
newsgroups so long I tend to throw any remarks in. And now I'm noticing
that :)

Suggest away, Bob. It's appreciated. If people didn't want feedback, they
wouldn't post, right <g>? As a near-compulsive list maker, I cut'n'paste a
lot of notes from the newsgroups for future reference. Right now I'm just
trying to produce simple scenes that effectively demonstrate Nathan's photon
mapping patch.

Hey, if you want(can) do it, I'd like to see a copy of it on a web-page, just
another nice referrence of "think about this" things for my final scenes.

Mostly the copied messages are concerned with Nathan's photon mapping
patch and are his replies or comments about how to use the patch more
effectively in scenes.
I'm anxious to read Nathan's upcoming FAQ and I'll bet that he covers much
of what has been brought up at news.povray.org about his patch.
I will keep your suggestion in mind, though. As photon mapping gains in
popularity, I can see where additional FAQs and tutorials could come in
handy.
