Yes where to take samples from was my main problem aswell, too many samples
and the parse gets slow, too few...  Also figuring out how to hit every
nook and
cranny was a problem with using trace() as things could be shadowed from my
rays.  Still for baldness and such... maybe do per-vertex hairiness?
oh-well I guess I will have to wait until you release it to what it can do!
