Reminds me of a neat little raytracer written in postscript someone
posted many years ago.
I was just playing with it a few minutes ago.
About 7k, raytraces 5 spheres by default.
you have to set the max ray depth to about 3 or 4 or it'll take
forever.
Ghostscript can use it to raytrace a 128x128 image in about 70
seconds.
