Quote - BTW, it was suggested I start a blog with this topic as focus - thank you, CobaltDream - good suggestion... and so am installing as we speak. I'd like to publish conclusions and experiments from here in that blog since threads are not very searchable, and this information needs to be in a highly accessible format.

If that's still cool with you, of course.

Sure. Quote me all you like.

If I want to write a book and charge for it, I will. Maybe. Eh, probably not. But maybe. In any case, your blog won't change the value of the book. If anything, it will increase it, because I'll not tell you everything I know, the book will have more, and even then it will not be all I know and could tell.

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)
