  I always try to get the appearance of reality by any mean, don't
matter if it is a phisically correct one or not. But this does not means
I model with detail all objects in the scene. In fact, most of my scenes
can't be rendered bigger because I used tricks that only work with
limited resolutions. I only have detailed objects at distance when I
reuse an old model, wich was on the foreground on a previous scene.

  Hmmm... not necesarily, but "usually" true. That's because an excess
of scruples can lead to never finish something. An old problem of art,
and many other human activities.
