Yes, I'm sorry about that png. My modem runs at around 36k so I also
appreciate small files.

Filter=0.95 didn't help speedwise. It seems to be VERY fussy about
that value.

Difficult to

Just wanted to see the caustics in MPov, and wanted a "pretty" pic :)

Used reflection 0.05 but, yes, it could have been more.

Very nice.

I love this coloured glass texture.

But get rid of that chequered plane !

Sorry, just checked and see I used finish F_Glass3 from glass.inc

Yes, I know that plane is boring (to POVers) but I cannot think of

non-computer aquaintances seem to expect it :) Any suggestions?
