  Dispersion Question (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

I have read the Povray documentation, searching it's abilities. I was
unhappy
when I found out that Povray does not use dispersion but just some 'fake
caustics'.
First, I did not found nothing more about 'fake caustics' - I mean what
exactly and wow it does.
Second, does anyone here know some tool which REALY simulate dispersion?

        Thank You

Then you obviously have not read the documentation enough.  



http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/180/

And while you are reading please also have a look at the positings in 

povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions

specifically the "Cross-Posting Guidelines for news.povray.org".  You
really don't need to post the same message in three different groups.
