I don't have the test scene on hand, but I have had an issue with the way the
aoi pattern worked in the past.  The issue arises when you transform an object
with the aoi pattern - it has a tendency to transform the provided aoi vector,
which may not be what you want.  It would be nice if the vector could somehow
be specified as a direction relative to the object, not absolute.
