Hi! Thanks, I saw a height_field in the file. This is a bad decision for my
purpose. Scattering media with photons example + drum kit. 2 Up pictures from
documentation and demo scenes. I want to create a real scene based on two
examples from the documentation. The camera will be in different locations. In
some cases, this spiral thread will be perfectly visible.I need clear, smooth
lines with no signs of a low-poly gamedev.
