When I try to use this link Netscape says no DNS entry. Is it a typo?

  The February 1999 issue of Computer Graphics World features cover art
rendered by Digital Domain ("Titanic"). The face uses a bump map texture
created by an inked impression of an actual person's face. The online image
at CGW's site does not do justice to the actual published cover art of the
magazine (it's pretty good).

This is even better than the one from Bill Fleming. I just stared on it
for a minute or so. I see a project rising at the horizon (Oh yeah, so
much do to ... and no time left!)

Thank you!

  You might consider starting with a finger or a hand first. Evenly applying
ink to one's face and trying to 'roll' this image smoothly onto a long sheet
of paper will probably take several tries <g>.

But this might improve your skin texture (the original one!). <g>

But the idea is not that bad (just ink to finger). One can try to render
his or her own fingerprints!

  Hmm... on second thought, maybe I should add a warning to this idea -
"Don't post your fingerprints on the internet!" It may sound like a bit of
paranoia on my part but who knows what someone might do with a high-quality
reproduction of *your* fingerprints <g>.

  Footprints might be pretty harmless, though.

Unless they are found at the site of a crime. I think you're right. Don't
publish your fingerprints anywhere.

Funny, that was the second thought that came into my mind when I wrote
this and at that moment I thought it would be wise to alter the picture
if I post it anywhere.
There is no paranoia to this just that important part of carefulness.

BTW, I heard that the american government thinks about selling their
driving license databases to private organisations. Is that true? I
wouldn't feel good if I knew that there could be private enterprises
running around there that had so much information about me plus a
picture.

You can't be sure of that.

In the U.S.A. all babies have their footprints taken after birth.
At least those born in a hospital.
