In the contributed section of vpython.org is a new povexport-2009-08-26.zip
package which lets you specify that a specific object to be exported to POV-Ray
and ray-traced not only should not cast a shadow but also should not make any
reflections in other objects. By specifying no_shadow=True and
no_reflection=True for an object you have the capability of making an object be
"unreal" in the final raytraced image. A good example is a curve object
representing a trajectory of a moving object.
