Hi Zach,
Glad you've got ideas :)
I think the disco scene was a too hard in retrospect. While we may throw in some
reflection and trasparency in future models I doubt there will ever be anything
as shiny as the Disco scene. Challenging is one thing, almost entirely
transparent or reflective is another.
