Oh, I have a very plush office. My PC sits on top of what I call a "church table" -- the type of 8' long pinch-your-fingers folding thing that one would often see used at church picnics and such. My PC's at my home office are sitting on top of chuch tables, too. And I'm surrounded by a cubicle made out of pegboard. So I need plastic-simulated woodgrain shaders in order to feel like I'm being immersed in the really real reality of the real world. Or at least my experience of it, anyway. So what I'm suggesting is a 3D simulation of a plastic simulation. Kind of like producing fake margarine (I think that there is such a thing).
I worked at a furniture refinishing shop as a teenager, just before I went off to college. Kutzit -- the varnish/paint remover liquid stuff -- stank.
