I was happily working on it until the computer started complaining due to
the combination of high-quality radiosity, isosurfaces, large image maps and
very large models. So I bought 512 Mb of RAM to be able to complete it
(remember that Norbert Kern bought a new computer to finish his IRTC winner
"Insects" picture).
Of course now that I'm used to 640Mb some projects can't get done at all so
I won't even start them (rad + iso + ior + focal blur + etc.).
