I put to 0.005 and the result is that now it doesn't really look black
anymore but more like glass.
On the other hand, it should be a red glass sphere. the red only shows
up a little bit on the edges of the object and the rest of sphere
looks 'speckled'
Can you give me the coordinates of binary group? Can't seem to find it
on Google
