     Hi, I am presently working on a thesis in ray-tracing and
     need large 3-d object databases (multi-polygon objects, 3-d
     molecules, Sculpt objects, etc.).  PLEASE!! if you have anything
     please send it, along with a description of the object format.
     You will receive mention in the acknowledgements whether or not
     I ever use your contribution. 

     On another note, can anyone send me working code that computes
     Fresnel reflection/refraction coefficients for dielectric surfaces?
     Also, references regarding Fresnel reflection coefficients for
     metals are desired as well (my introductory optics book is
     somewhat lacking on this subject).
     Please e-mail all replies to: prem@geomag.gly.fsu.edu
