not until now I hadn't ... ran a low samples example (light source and
hdr flipped y*180) ... interesting effect, however looks like I'll need
a whole different tune (reminds me of tuning IF stages in
transmitter/receivers) ... maybe it's telling me that my settings
weren't so hot to begin with. The translucency effect is more
pronounced, almost to the point of practically being able to see through
the material. I can see that I have more experimenting ahead ... this
stuff is fun and frustrating at the same time ;-)
