It’s free and awesome to play with it. However when you arrange the spheres so that you look through a glass sphere then it has a bug. It does not show spheres behind it. It shows the scene walls and even shadows of the sphere behind the glass sphere. But the sphere behind is invisible regardless if you make it normal solid or metal.
