It won't be real soon. I tend to get distracted and this is a scene I am
inspired to do a lot of detailed texturing for.

As I posted somewhere else, there's a ton of image maps involved with this
plane. The object_pattern function will find its way into my work, but I
didn't feel motivated to edit my work (and don't yet, anyway).

What I have so far, is a red tinted egg-shell lens (the High Blower push
button thing is all hollow). I want to put a lightbulb type object inside of
it, with a glowing element. I still haven't 'grokked' media, but I did try
it and wasn't happy. The current glow object was pretty easy to put in, but
I either have a problem with my object, or the glow too easily penetrates
solid objects (I put up a black solid box between a camera and a glow and
you could see the central glow area). Anyway, I wanted to see an open coil
like object glowing with a brilliant output. Like real light bulbs :)

I would post the result, but it doesn't differ much from this one.
