another try of an interior scene without glass in the windows, but why are the glasses on the kitchen working plane black ???
the color was set to 255,255,255, ab 0, abbe 190, refraction index 1,52...

comments welcome !!

ah, and i forgot to say : sample level 13,52 was reached after 6 hours on a P IV 3,2 GHz, 1 Gig RAM

I would not expect to see dispersion so far in distance anyway, so I would crank up the Abbe number. I'm not shure if absorption 0 might even make things worse.

Dieelectrics generally need an awful long time to come out good in Mawell...

Strange... that would mean no refraction at all, and no fresnel reflection either... I'm wondering what effect is left then at all?
