I noticed that you used one of those hard-to-find daylight bulbs.  I actually
prefer those (I use one IRL), but I used a soft warm light here because it
seemed to fit the mood of the recent Tiffany thread.  Makes for an ugly-looking
green through the welding glass, though. :^P

That sounds like a good solution.  I'll take a look.

Almost blown out actually sounds like decent goal.  It gives the desired
hypersaturated impression while just avoiding the flatness I mentioned earlier.

I didn't realize that POV had angle-of-incidence.  Is that an MCPOV thing?
