  Yes, the pens are really poorly placed at the moment. :(

  You're right, but I can't decide if it is more slow to use realistic 
normals with focal blur, or averaged textures with heavy aa. When almost 
all the textures are blurred, it is hard to tell... I will continue testing.

  Thanks, that was the primary purpouse of the scene: to test a light

macro, and create a nice and simple test code to show it...
