  No, this one is for a scene "a la Francisco Ribera". :)

  Being usually very bad at making effcient CSG, I was surprised this one 
only took 2 minutes to render... Well, now that I think of it, there is not 
any "difference" on this CSG... ;)

 Depends on what you consider as "selling the soul"...

  I don't want to know what you are doing in a house that is not yours, at 
such hours when everyone is sleeping... must be some YKYBRTL, sure. ;)

The texturing looks perfect.  Has it got a bottom in it?

  Hmmmm... uh.... eh.... no.  :) 

  It also needs a good pair of handles...  I'm working on it, but you know, 
wickerwork is slow....

OK, I understand until this point.

But what do you mean by "light macros" ?

I was just kidding here. I don't think you invested your sould in order to
achieve this all. But I bet you invested quite some time. And your computer
did the same with his cpu time I guess

He's obviously broken in to steal their CPU cycles for a render :)

Installing POV-Ray on my g/f's computer was a really hard test for our
relationship - but what can I do, I have a 400 MHz K6 and she has a
750 MHz Duron. The lure is irresistible :)

I'm in Estella (Navarra, a city close too Pamplona) with all the family and
some friends.
We are now on Fiestas (similar to Sanfermines).
But you are right.... YKYBRTL when you are reading the newsgroups at 4:00
a.m. and still you don't wanna sleep.

Anyway, have you thought about putting handles in the basket? I think it'll
improve the model.
Great wall and lightning also.
Waiting to see the final composition.

Bye
