// Persistence Of Vision raytracer version 3.0 sample scene by Dieter Bayer.
//
// This scene shows the effect of solid vs. hollow objects.
//
// Both spheres in this scene are enclosed by a halo container object.
//
// The left sphere is solid, i.e. it's not filled with the halo.
// The right sphere is hollow, i.e. it's filled with the halo.
//
// Note that you can see some discontinuities in the halo of the
// right sphere. This is caused be the refraction. After the rays
// are bent they travel through the halo on a different path
// resulting in a different result than that for an unbend ray,
// which would show no discontinuities.
