Im impressed! this is good! Keep posting his work here, but i dread to think
what he will be doing in a year or so, *quake*

try introducing him to RAD and AA (but only if he's allowed him to render
overnight :) overwise keep stum!

On the same note, dont tell him about Photons or Glass or media or fog .....

His Folks may have to get themselves a new PC otherwise, mind you, any
excuse to upgrade Eh?

And that is a liberal figure at that. I would guess more conservatively
towards 98% real Australia and the other 2% or less the foreign implants
such as Lance and his ilk.

Gee, you guys are really funny... but I'm sick of seeing Australia treated
like that... considering it has the highest computer/person ratio in the
world, and the largest online connectivity percentage... I know we've only
got 18 million people here... but it certainly is an advanced place compared
to some...

Ah well... and by the way, Australia is considered the most multicultural
country in the world...

he he, are you sure you want to put up with the kangaroos and koalas that
will attack you?  ;-)

Just in case anyone didn't pick up on that... it was meant in sarcasm...

  No one said it was a backwards country Lance. The implication of it being
sparsely populated in relation to the amount of developed land can hardly
be contested. You are the one who is being defensive towards something
you should instead cherish.

  Considered by whom ? I personally hold the US in first place in that
regard. We are not a culture so much as we are the world. Ethnic and
social diversity is what this nation was made from and the policy is
as true today as it was 200 years ago. New York has more multi-cultural
inhabitants than your entire country has people. I am not saying this
is good or bad. I justs calls em as I sees um.

Great image Mike!

I like the water and the background image.

One suggestion that I would have is to lighte the insides of the
four upper drums.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers
Steve

Hehehe. Actually Australia is a place I'd like to visit. Especially north
western Australia, I hear its one of the more beautiful parts of the world. I'd
also like to visit The Great Bariar Reef and go hiking in the outback. I've
always liked traveling, Me and my parents lived in China for 3 years when I was
younger, by the way I'm 1/2 chinese, though I don't look it. We also live in
Malaysia for about a year and we've also visited Tiland for about  2 weeks. All
that was a LONG time ago though, going on 11 years, so I don't remember much,
but I'd like to get traveling again.
