RML Object

If you want to follow a RZP using an RML File, you'll need an XML Object that contains all the RZP details. The default RZP from RAY-UI is available for use. Just remember, tracing only works if you set up a Light Source first. It's a good idea to add an Imageplane Object at the end for clearer results.
