Absolutely true. I am far from happy with the illumination inside the
building, but I am still unsure about how I am going to solve this. Some
more experimentation is needed now.
I answered Alain about the pillar texture. I shall experiment with larger
rotation angles and see what happens. It may be that I shall also subdue
somewhat the contrast within the texture. May help.
In terms of architecture, the main problem is that the stone probably would
break along the inclined sedimentation planes, so a horizontal bedding would
be preferable. Hmm... means I have to take that into account.
