Steven, I've taken the liberty to render your first sparkly with my
dispersion jitter patch and I've found it's the first really good example
of how useful this can be. Would you believe me if I told you that this
image used only 4 samples? You can see a very nice rainbow inside the near
crystal and the rainbow caustic on the floor is complete without any gaps.
Something I didn't expect was how the the caustics came out completely
solid without any speckles or grainyness. I guess POV's photon gathering
works really well.
PS. Hope you don't mind me jacking your image for this example.
