That's some really nice work there, Mr. Callwood.
It's impressive how much time and work you've invested in a simple desk lamp to
get the shapes and textures and positioning right.

When did you write the first desk lamp scene?
How many files and features are associated with it at this point?

Are you using macros to calculate the positioning of the light?
Are they "simple" vector calculations like vdot and vcross, or are you employing
matrix transforms?

Again - nice work as always.
