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 ;-)

ha-ha ... and yikes this thread sure has generated a lot of bandwidth
(i'm posting 55th message to this thread)

Surprisingly, I find that full-spectrum light bulbs really do help.

far be it for me to buck tradition (checkered planes) but has anyone
tried the tiling pattern?

Mirrored (at the mid-point) color/texture maps work best
