Following up on this, as I was debugging / rewriting one of 00face's scenes (to
better learn about handling media myself), I ran into a curious problem where
when I halved the unnecessarily gigantic media container, it all went black.

After much experimenting, I determined that when the camera was inside the
container, it all looked fine.
When the box edge was moved in front of the camera to exclude it, the container
looked black.

I was in the middle of 3 other things at the time, and didn't have the
opportunity to whittle down the complex scene to a minimum, showing the problem
- but maybe tonight.

Until then - can anyone speculate on a potential cause?

Basically just a big box with scattering media and some light coming through a
ceiling with a lot of holes.
