RML Object

To track a Ellipsoid Mirror using an RML File, you'll require an XML Object to encompass all the mirror details. The default mirror setup from RAY-UI is provided here for your convenience. Remember, successful tracing requires you to specify a Light Source first. We suggest adding an Imageplane at the end for clearer results.
