This was modeled in Animation Master rather than spatch.  The patches
are type 2, which happen to render faster when there are this many
patches (around 1500).  I modified an old version of uvpov to handle the
uv mapping.

So how did you export: straight out dxf's or what?

There you go Renderman

Superb Picture. The textures add a nice touch to it

I exported bicubic patches directly to .pov.  The plugin for official POV format
is available from my website, free.prohosting.com/~olana

The exporter I used for this image was a little different though.  I will be
releasing it once there's a release of the uv mapping patch that I wrote.
That's something I may do myself if it doesn't wind up in MegaPOV, although I'd
rather not as I used the Superpatch sources which are missing a bunch of cool
features.

No less than incredible.  Any chance the body will get made too?
Something about a bust of that guy just seems really strange.  Why would
anyone sculpt a bust of him and have it in a room of their home, rather than
it actually be his head taxidermed(sp) and mounted on a wall?
I wonder if a tongue, looking like its flapping around in the mouth, might
be a good idea?

Thanks!

Just so happens that I modeled the whole thing almost a year ago but didn't
start texturing it until today.  The process takes a long time and is a pain in
the butt when dealing with all those arms and legs, so I'm dreading the idea.  I
did render the model with a glass texture and photons.  I wasn't going to post
it because it's tacky, but what the heck. :)

That's pretty good. :) That's better than good, it's excellent.

Now that is what photons are supposed to look like - definately not tacky

Very complex caustics, really neat looking too.  Even humorous if you think
of him saying "Look! I can fly!"
That's yet another good thing about computer modeling, no need to ball up
the lump of clay every time to make changes.

Egads!!!!  You've modeled my mother-in-law.
