Minor tweak to the code to stop higher-levels forgetting that their child
levels have already had objects generated for them.

Very cool, I think you should try a photographic 3 lights system on this 
kind of subject, it should work very well (image attached).

It's a way lighting subjects in photography that can be used in 3D too, 
it seems that it's more known as three points lighting.
