Gotta link for that?



Okay, I'll just have to make the code suitable for distribution and pack 
the files into a zip. It will be posted to p.b.scene-files.

Is that Jungian philosophy? Psychedelic shamanism? I'm always interested 
in such things.

This comes from my head and my journeys with a friend and a spark of love. I was
informed that Jung had the more correct "philosphy" of all the writers. I have
not had time to read Jung but I am getting that he is the "most correct" Some
of what I have learned would likely be found there.

I'll be looking for your source and thank you. I'll run with it and make
something great as an effort of repayment.

As opposed to Freudian psychology? I would have to agree. I find Freud's 
analysis of the human condition to be much too animalistic; it doesn't 
give enough credit to the higher cognitive states of homo sapiens :)

I wonder whether there is any positive correlation between being a 
raytracing geek and being bearded (like with other pastimes/occupations 
like programming in general or astronomy)...

What about this: http://www.khyberspace.de/yadgar-e.html

Too bad that beards, especially long(er) ones are so forbiddingly 
difficult to render...

Perhaps the correlation is linked to an unusually disproportionate 
allocation of project time versus grooming time...

Wow, I don't know if I'll ever be able to match that. The German and 
Scottish genes don't quite outweigh the Native American in me I guess.

Not in Blender, they're not! Well, they are a little hard to train though.

Looks pretty good. And the idea is interesting.
