Well, two blurry and one not.

Trying to recreate the effect you get with plastics, glass and other 
materials where the surface is a blurry reflector straight on, but a 
crisp reflector as the object becomes very oblique.

The basic technique seems to work, although this is a very simple 
demonstration with a lot that could probably be tweaked to improve the 
effect.

Cheers,
Edouard.

It should be very easy with Severi's unbiased renderer when (IF) it goes 
public if custom BDRF shaders will be available.

In the meantime I'm creating my own java raytracer (just an API; POV-SDL 
parser might come later).
My question is: once I create the framework (the abstract methods) is 
there anyone which would like to help me create the primitives (torus, 
superellipsoid...) or shaders (preferably thread-safe)?

I just might. :-) Bug me again in a few months, and we'll see if I have 
any free time then. :-P

Note that placing GAS in 16-bit mode does not mean that the resulting 
code will necessarily run on a 16-bit pre-80386 processor. At the moment 
this would be rather difficult, because GAS currently supports only 
32-bit addressing modes. So you can write code that runs on 16-bit 
processors, but only if that code never references memory.
