There are speed limits on the "autobahns" in these days. But when you're
lucky you can still find some parts that don't have any speed limits.
But it isn't fun to drive, because today the "autobahns" are too crowded
and you have to be so careful to survive. ;-)
Just my two eurocents,

All it takes for me, is that I get "turned around" in my sense of
directions. Suddenly an environment I am used to "looks totally
strange". Yesterday I was walking around a park here called Marcus
Garvey Gardens. It lies directly across 5th Avenue. The avenue just
stops at one side then continues again on the other side. I was on the
north side of the park where 5th abutts but I *thought* I was on the
south side. Total disorientation.

I loved Huxley's writings on art. I especially liked the line that went
something like: "If religion is the opiate of the masses, then surely
draperies are the opiate of painters". Loved his discussion of the late
work of Goya.

I haven't seen the program. I happened to read a bit about it recently,
just what I could find on the web, but I didn't really dig in. Put it
off to later then lost the link. I think it is pretty interesting
though. I had been trying turn up anything I could on the subject of
Vermeer, and/or the Dutch painting of his time, and mirrors, in the hope
that I could make some connections vis-a-vis Rene Bui's entry in POVCOMP.

Yes, I also tried that with the crackle pattern, but without much
success... so I didn't use it for that image. But after you mentioned
it, I played with the metric of the crackle and it looks now a bit more
credible, so I included it on the last version.

Yes, you are right... only with 2 different colorations it looks much
better now. And it was not that hard without consuming much additional
memory: on the mesh include generated by POVTree, I changed the
placement of the textures statement from inside the FOLIAGE object to
the object instance on the TREE union, and created another union TREE2
with a different texture.
Thanks!

The problem is my imagination... for that kind of touch it's really
poor... but let me see what I can do. :)

Thanks to all for the criticism! I've corrected some of the flaws
mentioned and will be working on the rest for the final version, ASAP.
I'm sending a test without radiosity nor focal blur, because with
area_light is taking now *very long* to render (10 hours so far, and it
didn't complete half of the image).

Some comments:
1.- Thanks God I was sit in my chair when I saw it.
2.- My wife said "... and?"; "It's 3D" I answered; "Whoao..."
3.- My little daughter couldn't believe the trees and the cars were done
on a computer.
4.- I'm very proud of you. Great job Jaime.
5.- Sure it's redundant but "Stop posting photographsssssss" ;-)
... keep it up

Wow that's even much better :-)
I don't know if it is the no radiosity option but wet can see a lot more
details.
When I compare our 2 images, it's definitely the last which is a photo ;-)
