Steve:
Flametiger74 - Please don't continue with this discussion in thes thread. Post this to a new topic. This thread simply anounces that v0.97 is available. It is not for bug reports.
cumesoftware:
Finally, raytracing!
Does it handle shadows of transparent objects as well?
Great improvement, by the way!
Steve:
No, shadows of transparent objects are still black. That may be supported in an update but I still have a bit of code to write for it.
cumesoftware:
I have just one though. I don't agree with the term "dielectric". A dielectric material is any material has the ability to store opposite electrical charges. Most insulators like glass or polyester are dielectric.
Shouldn't the materials be called refractive? I can't associate the term "dielectric" with light.

Quote from Wikipedia entry for dielectric:
"Many phenomena in electronics, solid state and optical physics can be described using the underlying assumptions of the dielectric model"
