one end of the scene to another. These long range effects would be
even more pronounced when reflections were present, like they may be
with POV Ray. In

Ok, yes, I see your point now. I was unaware of the memory aspects not being
helped by the rendering in parts, so I did not catch the deliberate
redirection you had done! However, Tom's method would be able to avoid the
