The ior effect is evaluated only at the surface. The same goes for the
dispersion. Colour fading within an object is evaluated between the
entry point and exit point. What lies between don't mather.
If your bicubic_patch form a reasonably closed shape, it can be
considered as "solid". It's solid in the sense that it can have an
interior where you define an ior, some dispersion and colour fading.
You may also apply sone media, but I'm not sure that it will behave
correctly. Some testing is needed.
The same can be done with an union of triangles.
