    Well, I wasn't talking about photo-realism. For instance, I have a
continuing project of modeling a microscope. There are some internal gears
that I had to dismantle the microscope to find. But I found them and modeled
them even though it will take a cutaway view to ever see them. Probably
slows down the rendering a lot and certainly slowed down the project.

    But I can't see modeling something and leaving out the working parts.
Probably a psychosis of some sort.
