Well what were your first thoughts when you decoded the script, besides the obvious Eureka, after making some sense of the texts?

Other members that were on the team before me had already proved it out before I came along so I knew it was possible. The cool thing for me though was specifically doing some physicically based rendering techniques. How well these work varies greatly, but on a few segments in one scroll they work extremely well. I whipped up some simple code to composite layers, did up a render, and without any ML at all was looking at multiple rows of text that no one had read for 2000 years. That was neat.

Probably something along the lines of "finally, now it looks like a coherent piece of text. I wonder what it says".
