Years ago, I actually did use the idea in the latter part of your comment, for a
very elaborate scene-- but I lost the scene, so I'll have to 'reinvent the
wheel' to understand what I did! (I haven't used that construct since then.)

About the arrays: I'm not clear about exactly what should go into them, or what
should be plugged into the image_pattern (although it sounds interesting, and
I'd like to know):

"building windows 1 holdout.jpg" ?
jpeg "building windows 1 holdout.jpg" ?

or some other thing?
