24	<!-- TouchSensors on the monoliths route to TimeSensors, one per monolith. Each TimeSensor routes to the intensity field of a PointLight placed just in front of the monolith. Simultaneously, a monolith's TimeSensor routes to the transparency field on a Material for a Box surrounding the monolith. -->
25	<!-- As a monolith's TimeSensor fraction ramps up from 0.0 to 1.0, the PointLight intensity ramps up from 0.0 (off) to 1.0 (full on). At the same time, the monolith's outer box transparency ramps from 0.0 (opaque) to 1.0 (transparent). As the transparency increases, an emissive textured inner box for the monolith becomes visible. The inner box's emissive shading makes it appear to be a light source, and the plausible source of the PointLight source's illumination. The overall effect is one of pulsing glowing monoliths. -->
26	<!-- A grid mesh floor is used so that localized lighting effects will be obvious. -->
27	<!-- Things to experiment with: -->
28	<!-- Try adding a ScalarInterpolator to each monolith and route it's output in to the rotation field of the monolith's TextureTransform. This will rotate the texture on the monolith. -->
29	<!-- Instead of the transparent box trick, try using a ColorInterpolator to gradually increase the emissiveColor of a single monolith box while decreasing the box's diffuseColor. -->
30	<!-- Try routing the TimeSensor's outputs in to a ScalarInterpolator that varies up and down smoothly, then route this output in to the light source's intensity, etc. Instead of the 0.1-1.0 ramp, then instant fall to 0.0 that the TimeSensor's fraction output gives, you can shape an arbitrary smooth rise and fall curve in the Scalar Interpolator's key values. -->
