Already been done Ryan, although not a render.
It was used as an illustration to a story in Omni science mag sometime back in
the late 70's, early 80's my memory is not one of my strong points, so I have no
idea which issue, and searching through 15 years worth is a daunting task.
Neat idea though.

Strange. I made the same connection. Funny how you hear a phrase or
discription your whole life but never think about the reason for it.
Kind like it is called that just because it is called that and for
no other reason.

Very nice. I've always been partial to architectural (?) tpye things. It
could use more AA, but otherwise is great. Does the original have
painted wood or is that some other material?
