Mike, you already have a significant talent. I can't get my son off of
Quake long enough to learn tracing, and he has no interest anyway. Keep on
tracing!

Must have been a small image to start I guess. The "jaggies" or
pixelization is pretty rampant. I don't mind smaller images, they can look
better than the larger sometimes. Anyway, great drum modeling Mike.
The use of colored lights is well done too, although what probably would
have done this much better is spotlights trained upon various regions so
as not to fill the entire image.
Keep it up and I may look into getting a mad scientist to do a brain
transfer between us.

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...
