Thankyouboth. I too prefer the facets, but I thought it interesting that the
photons with mirrored objects cast light on the floor almost like radiosity.
The smooth version illustrates this better.

For the facets, I actually used the quick-n-dirty mesh approximator that I
posted recently (Called 'Yet more boulders', posted 28th Feb), but with regular
triangles instead of smooth_triangles and a lower resolution parameter, on a
pre#declared sphere.

I'm sure I tried to write a proper discoball generator recently... must see if I
can find it. :)
