  Yes, I remember these now. The one from Fabien is really nice, if I 
remember well. 

> Interesting background too... 

  It's a very thin height_field with a standard stone texture scaled down 
on the HF height direction. This way the HF shows different parts of the 
texture depending on the height, sowhing very interesting patterns. The 
wood uses the same trick.

  Always. I can't remember when I worte my last "light_source" sentence 
directly... :) Seriously, it is very handy for me, mainly because I can 
adjust the overall lighting with two control variables.

  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 :)
