Cheers!
The columns are looped in 3 axes obviously.  Testure is pure reflection{0,1)
with a slightly low exponent, rendered with no lights.

Media was an emissive spherical distribution, rgb<1,1,2> at the centre with
a poly_wave falloff, exponent and scale set by experiment.  Turbulence was
applied as a warp{} at various scales to give that kind of scale-free fine
structure that makes it somewhat more realistic - i.e. not so smoothly CG.

Rendered with strong focal blur and, as I mentioned, no lights.  4 hours or
so.

@Slime - I'll post elsewhere to discuss the pong...
