How about never? :) I did play with Rhino and Wings for a couple of
evenings, but never actually modeled anything.

I can't afford the RAM to make a scene as "complete" as many of those in
the links with *any* tool, especially poster sized, but my image was not
abstract, a mathematical figure, or a procedural landscape. Probably
thousands of lines of code. In a few evenings (*if* I had the RAM), I
could add a few trees, flags, or whatever filler I wanted and have the
frame completely packed with details.

Not sure if I'll leave it up. I haven't canceled it yet. I'll probably
decide something on Jan 31. I'm just flat out of resources. I could doll
it up a *bit* over the next three months, but it would still be a
two-month scene, and no small part of that two months was spent on
resource management already. Sort of bringing a knife to a gun fight,
and I don't want to submit anything to which I would feel any desire to
attach an excuse.
