I smell a rat. The 48m timescale was based on a _minimum_ of 12s per thingy, which was then miraculously achieved despite several posts to this very forum in the meantime.

You're correct. I did not factor in middle-aged befuddlement.
Let's hope you're done by the morning, then.

He said _minimum_ of 12. Assuming an average of 20, that's approx 80 minutes, so let's say an hour an a half ... including a bit of time for a quick "comfort break" ...

Well, you found something. Perhaps you'll afford him some privacy next time and just ask when he comes home.

I love the fact that in your early career your imagination was constrained somewhat by what you could get out of the hardware but now the power of the hardware has set it free to the point you probably don't have to worry too much about whether things are even _possible_.

Ooooh - so if it's "proper" 3D, can one channel's luminance be used as a bump-map for another? Maybe with a "depth"/multiplier controlled by an LFO or some other source?

I mean, don't make me scroll through 100s of items that you probably don't even have and get my hopes up. Just show me the five unsuitable items that I can _actually order_, so I can just move on and get on with my life.

I didn't think of there - I try not to, but it's so frustrating scouring all the Argos-y and DunElm-y places for stuff like this only to have them declare "Not in stock" on the product page whenever you find something that looks like it might possibly be suitable.

Was it the little side-table that you were putting together? That looks perfect for a space I need one for - all the ones I have found are about twice the width of that and no good.
Where did you get it from? 🙂
