Hrrm, most be the perspective de-emphasizing it. My current project is
actually related. It's a model of an 1890's Baldwin locomotive. I happened
to stumple across some plans, and while I may not model it prefectly (Two
reasons: One, the plans are are a rather low-res JPEG, and 2: They're
missing lots of the smaller details), I am shooting to get all the major
proportions and measurements within an inch or 4.

Radiosity still boggles my mind too. And, technicaly, I've been using
POV-Ray for almost 10 years! :-) I just put it in through the interface and
turn on/off the media and normal interaction thing depending on the scene. I
can't say what half those settings do.

Very smart concept and very well realized.
It recalls me Jeff Beck's "Guitar Shop"(His masterwork at my taste) cover
but your concept>realization is better

Thanks!
I've never seen that album cover before, but It's nice
and I appreciate the connection you make.
I'm probably a surrealist by inclination, I like pictures
that make you do a double take.

I guess Stevie Ray Vaughan is closer than Socialist Republic of Vietnam :-)
Actually that's quite fun:

Yes, Stevie Ray Vaughan. I knew that a guy designing a CD cover like
this would know what I meant.

Actually more of a classical music person myself :-)
Though I like R&B well enough.
