Still in mind and the last idea of Clark was totally nice -
putting the elephant into the diamond. Need's a complete
crystal diamond (that will eat CPU - man).

Outch - yes I know what you mean - I have such a one for my
camera too (along with the other usual ones like the 2 diop
hole lense etc.). That's one of the limits of raytracing
AFAIK. I never had any success on such a thing like a filter.
Also it's impossible to build spectral effects. Spectral
effects are based on the fact that the refractional index of
a material varies on the frequency of the light (that's what
makes the fire in diamonds). But a raytracer cannot do this -
or at least the trace would run infinitely long - thus no
tracer I know of supports it.

But on the star filter I have already an idea. Will try out
some things.
