Hi,
The tutorial states that the quality needs to be increased prior to
ray-tracing. But it seems to me that the {sphere,stick}_quality
settings apply to the OpenGL rendering, whereas the raytracer uses
'real' spheres and cylinders. Even when setting sphere_quality to 0,
'ray' will still give (near) perfect spheres.
Cheers,
Tsjerk
