I'm not sure what you mean. The images come from a ray tracer. The models for
that were hand coded from hand-drawn diagrams with measurements, not the other
way around (AFAIK).

i.e. they did it the same way I do much of my pov stuff! Although I often don't
bother drawing it on paper first and just go straight into code.

It is a good DVD :) Though I haven't gone through all specual features yet so
you might know something I don't. :)
