I wasn't bashing anyone, just saying it's not my cup of tea. Since this is the 3D forum, I thought maybe others might be in agreement and found out otherwise.
Whatever.. after much thought, I still think pattern is lame. Lots of things are challenging and lame, such as keeping your dog precisely down the middle of the sidewalk without stepping on cracks.

And equally boring to watch.
If I get bored with 3D it will be helicopter time, not pattern time.
To each his own.
