Thanks, Mike.
This is my first attempt to make a POV closer to the modern
world ). BTW, I've embedded your materials browser here, as I found it
very useful:

WASM compiling can be painful and need a lot of effort to get a stable
result. This is the reason I postponed it to the autumn, preferring to
relax in the summer ).

Respect, you have a lot of patience (which I need) to make such a large
scene. Lizard in industrial environment ? Sounds cool - looking forward
to see it (sketch at least :)).

I found it very neat, especially "golden wheels" - excellent material,
which can probably be used in jewelry rendering.
