Rendering too much? I think we all know the signs (the You KnowYou've Raytracing
(or Ratracing) Too Long When...) but I don't think anyone would even dare
suggest that you stop!

I've got a nearly-complete B17G bomber model, and have started on my
fighter escorts.
You realize, of course, that this means WAR? Bogies on you six....

Well, here's the B17, still needs alot of detail and texturing, but you
get the idea even in this badly compressed image. I was gonna make a 
P51 as my first escort, but decided to do a P38 first. After seeing
your p51, I wanna get Truespace. Hand-coding is too much of a bitch,
and has too many limitations when you need exactness. Your models are
awesome.

Thanks, but mine aren't that precise either. Maybe, if I could afford
AutoCAD, and the requisite twenty years to learn it....

Jpeg was much kinder to your model then mine! :) The one drawback to
triangles is memory usage. Even with 'mesh' these things get out of control
in a hurry. I know that somewhere out there is a quartic expert that would
make our efforts seem child like, but I like your work here just fine! :)

Watch out for pesky FW's!
