Version 6: This last version is much brighter. There are
now several light sources inside the crystal ball, but outside
the energy sphere. They are each the primary color of the
energy sphere so that they will lay down lighting effects on
other objects in the image. This effect could have been
achieved by placing a very powerful white light source in the
center of the energy sphere, but the rendering time would have
been way too slow. Also in this version the lights external to
the spheres have been moved away and lowered.
