YES, my idea too. (For one of my early test animations, I actually placed the
camera inside a tail gunner bubble.  It was faked, though-- just an image_map
overlay that looked like aluminum struts, applied during the motion-blur
post-processing step, with *some* matching movement to 'blend it in.' It looked
interesting, but needed real geometry. Didn't pursue it at the time...) One good
thing that came out of the experiment was discovering that I could use my
motion-blur code to do compositing with. BTW, the code is, at its core, just a
pigment_map set-up using 'average'--with some bells and whistles to automate the
process. I do plan on posting it.

I'll look into that; not familiar with it.
