I could be wrong, but I think he's refering to caustics. Basically, if
you
have a shiny piece of metal, or something similiar, the light reflects
off
the metal and projects light onto a nearby surface. Or those weird
light
patterns you see from a glass.
Something like this:

trueSpace doesn't support caustics ( at least I don't think it does ),
though there may be a plugin or something.
