I think the black is from over lapping container objects. I used a few
of them to try and make the smoke. You can't tell from this angle but
the smoke is flowing away with the blood flow. I tried to make some
turbulence behind the little jets too. No arealight, I never thought
about that. I couldn't decide on how to make it look like a thick
fluid. My attemps at media did not turn out. Thanks though.

I was just going to say how real can you get with a machine that was not
even built yet. No I modelled it after an article I read in Discovery
Magazine. Thanks for th input though.

I remember this :-)
It has improved a lot... hmm, how _did_ they get the coloured cross on that?
It must be rather small... *grin* (pencil and microscope?, nah)
it really looks good from my POV, but then, I don't know how it should look like
in reality(*shudder*)

No I read Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, The Dragonlance books, and
Tad Williams. Read Tad Williams, he has a new series out that is
awesome. T can't remember the name but the latest book is call River of
Blue Fire. Otherland thats it. Good stuff. About future internet.

Gibson is about as far out there in the future as Michael Moorcock
is out there in the past. Both extreme on the edge authors and fun
for that light sunday afternoon reading material.

Exactly my point - which is why I said it wasn't really a problem :) But if
you are interested in modeling actual nanomacines designs (even if we don't
have the microconstuction techniques to BUILD them yet), check out the
Foresight Institute.

Read it. Good, but they need a better editor.

he is good.
Simon Mooncalf :-)

Yup

I'll take a peek.

Read it.

Yes, they are good authors, and interesting to read when feeling tired after
watching a three hour parse crash on you... (hate windoze)

Maybe in reality you shouldn't look at it at all.
If god ment us to see how our bodies work at a
molecular scale he would have given us
miscroscopes for eyes.
And NO I don't believe in God.
