#   Scene    This database is called sometimes sphereflake, since
#            it is generated like a snowflake curve. The database
#            mostly consists of various sized spheres.  There are 
#            no eye rays that hit background, and 3 light sources
#            cause a large number of shadow rays to be generated.
#
#            For all flakes:
#   Objects  1, 9, 91, 820, 7381 spheres + 1 polygon
#   Time     256x256 sample 1, darkstar:
