Still, I think that some "source" can be distributed. Lately I've been using Rhino
for my modelling, and as such my scenes are far too big to include. However, I can
still include notable imagemaps, textures, closeup images of various objects, and
so forth. I consider "source" to be anything that gives the viewer a better
insight into the creation of the scene. Even a series of images charting the
progress would be informative.
