Are you sure?  When I render my original demo, or yours without the
looks_like objects, objects behind or in front of the aperture render
correctly, but the media mapped on top of the aperture does not.  It's as
though the light is being emitted from the inside surface of the cylinder,
rather that from the outside surface.  Instead of black discs I'm getting
grey ones.

I started this project 15 years ago on an Amiga so a few months more won't
kill it :-}
