Anton,

Preface: I am drunk. It is Friday night and I have worked my ass off for several weeks. Consider everything I say with care, as I have little connection to reality at the moment.

Your suggestion is fascinating to me. I did not intend for the shader to be a "strange attractor". (Those of you reading along, if you're not into math, that isn't funny at all. In fact it sounds pompous. Sorry.)

I believe your abode is Maine, right? If not the next paragraph is going to sound pretty f***ing stupid and irrelevent.

I have a condo in Maine. My daughter is considering going to school in Maine. While on my way to pick her up from visiting Colby College in Maine, I was late and chose to disobey the speed limit. This was not to my advantage with respect to unmarked patrol vehicles. The cop said I was going 102 MPH. Actually it was 130 MPH at one point, but whatever. Court date is this month.

So I'll be up there. Want to have a beer?

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
