Got the whole scene to reflect and to be reflected. So far I'm getting really good performance, and I'm curios to see how much worse it gets once I start adding much more complexity.

Polycount! There's a name I haven't heard in a long time... I'm not sure how this thread got necro'd and into my email, but it's nice to see some familiar names. B) Also, cloud storage 4TW.
