Hi Grim, yes, it was just a thought. I imagined being able to take a
really good photo of say, a bee, and then somehow placing it in PoV and then
zooming in on it until you could see each individual hair on the bee. I just
thought that it would be quite a good way of getting some interesting
textures like this, and maybe using them as backgrounds or something. I
wish!  ;o)
