If the Table was created properly, then each "section" would have a
predefined
left/right limit and its own light source (which could be turned off if
desired.
Each user *could* provide their own light source, but could use the default
one.
a simple "cylinder/line" could separate each section (for testing), but
would
be turned off for the final renders.

Question, though: Would the final results be only a list of images that
would
be arranged on a long table? Perhaps an animation that smoothly scrolls down
the table?

I have some "remnant" objects from the October IRTC that didn't end up in
the final
image (a Guitar and Stratego game) that I could submit.
