hmm, isn't that true? :D

Kings were toothpaste!

hmm, the fun part to me was some guy who actually went and did a python script
to do it in blender.  I imagine if he used some of the povray code... :)

Yes, particularly as Massive is being used a lot these days. I guess it 
lends well itself to this kind of ideas. I've seen a similar commercial 
where legions of people were running in the countryside and eventually 
formed a giant bridge for instance.. OTOH, I've received over the years a 
small trickle of job offers from game, movies and advertising companies, so 
I know that some of them have been looking at my website (and the creative 
director of this particular ad is a French guy).
In any case, watching that giant walk was cool.

I had to tweak the regex a bit before posting, seems they changed things 
on the site...

That guy is a d*ck. Neither "wasn't a photo" nor "cg" nor "made in 
Povray" is completely accurate. This isn't a criticism of your picture 
(you are very clear about the methods used on your site), but of 
johnyf's inference that he "recreat(ed) the scene in Bryce."

what's the problem with the guy's description of how it happened?  That work can
indeed be thought to be a photo.  And it is in fact Computer Graphics.  Rendered
with Povray.  What exactly is wrong?
