Your not wrong about the work.  It is a single, randomly selected texture 
applied to the whole thing

interior structures?

I am considering that "themeing" the random stream would add to the effect. 
I think thats what your getting at.

The plain "box" is the default if no other shape is selected to placed at 
that location,  I am constantly adding new differn't shapes to the selection 
list.

I think I'll add that as a random option.

The macro already makes a random choice, it either uses all white lights or 
all random colours.  I'm reluctant to remove the coloured option as it can 
add some good "feel" to some of the images.
