Rendered in Real 3D 1.4 (yes, the old one) on an Amiga 1200.

200x150, HAM8, Anim5 format. 400+2 frames.  MainView plays this one faster
than Viewtek. Playing from Fast RAM is possible with 4 MB fast.

Two mirrors against each other... a great subject to draw ideas from, to
improve on and to experiment with. One of the simplest feedback systems,
but amazing nonetheless. Make a fancy shiny sphere go through the mirrors
and there you go! - instant cool animations. :)

On a more serious note, this scene is great for experimenting with mirror
materials and recursion depths. In this particular animation, a recursion
depth of 20 was used - that means that the rays of light were traced in
their reflections and refractions 20 times. As a comparison, most of my
images are rendered with a recursion depth of 3.
