Yes, they're quite good... this method works really well for candles
actually.  I like the look of the fading.

Of course, as was mentioned, it's harded to use this method for complex
objects...

  If you are already faced with a difficult task what is one more
bump in the road. I sometimes get a thrill at starting a project
and completing it in a much shorter time than I originaly expected.
However this is a cheap hi and not nearly as satisfying as tackling
a difficult task, applying everything you know to master it, and
having the satisfaction that you succeeded in accomplishing a great
personal challenge.
  While everything you try to do should not be frustrating to the
point where you would rather do something else it also should not be
too easy as to become common place and in consequence lead to boredom.
Two different roads to the same unfortunate end. I prefer the middle
ground thank you.

It's never happened to me, but I imagine the greatest thrill is uploading an
image and having Ken say, "WOW, how did you do that!?!" :)

   To everybody out there WoW ! That is a nice image you posted or
 are going to Post. How did you do that or how are you going to do
 that anyway ? Like again - wOw !

   It does happen. Really ! I have been monitoring this group for probably
 about 9 months now and have seen some incredible material posted here. I
 try to respond to a reasonable amount of posts without over doing it at
 the same time. I am also carefull to try to say nice things about each
 that I do respond to. I save the WoW's for the images that really do
 deserve them. Reminds me, I need to go WoW Gilles new sunflower image.
 That's not to say you haven't posted a WoW image, it may have been a
 case where I may have felt at the time that enough other people had
 already WoWeD it enough I didn't need to.

   If I recall there was an entry in the you know you have been raytracing
 too long thread that said something like:

   You can tell which utilities or modelling program were used to create a
 scene just by looking at the final image.

   I am not quite to that point yet but I may be gaining on it.

Ah! The illustrious Middle Ground! This is indeed a boon coveted by many,
yet awarded to a select few... [Ramst, anno 1999]

I guess it's time to take my medicine <twitch>
