Hi all.

I've used Chris Colefax's include files ("galaxy.inc") to make the
background. No focal blur this time (the night background gets too blurred
if FB is used).
Everything was done with Moray except for the razor that was done with
Hamapatch and imported into Moray. Rendered with Povray.
Thank you for your comments on previous posts.
Bye.

leaving out the focal blur does any harm at all.  Congratulations.

Thank you very much Mike, I have the same opinion about the focal blur in
this case. Glad you like it.

Hi Txemi, that's great!  The very essence of elegant functionality in an
efficient yet attractive setting.  Your color selections and textures are
perfect.

Oh yes!
With the starry background and the strict symmetry, it reminds me of 18th 
century utopian engravings.
Very well done!!

As Thomas appears to be otherwise occupied, I'll have a go at this before
dashing off for the weekend.  He can always post a correction if I miss the
mark.

18th Century Utopianism, in general, refers to the works of those
philosophers who actively advocated the creation of a new political and
social order in which the transfer of power from a privileged ruling class
to the people would result in a new era of reason and enlightenment...
< and these were the SMART people - a wonder human race has survived :o) >
As is usually the case among philosophical types, there is no universal
agreement with regard to whom ought to be included as a "Utopian", but John
Locke, Immanuel Kant And Jean Jacques Rousseau are usually listed among the
prime suspects.  George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are listed in the
"known associates" file.

To make a long story short, (TOO LATE!) The attachment of these folks to
ancient Greek democratic precedents led to a connection between the
movement and neoclassical aesthetics.  Crisp, clean images of monumental
edifices were often used to symbolize the onward march of reason, progress,
etc.  Masons, Rosicrucians and other such folks who are often talked about
at really good parties, but almost never invited to them, were particularly
fond of such symbols.  Links to a few examples follow:

Even more typical were the works (often only projects) of the visionnary 

http://expositions.bnf.fr/boullee/indexpo.htm,
Claude Nicolas Ledoux http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Nicolas_Ledoux
and Jean-Jacques Lequeu http://www.spamula.net/blog/archives/000575.html and

Actually, these are MUCH better examples than my quick Google search turned
up.
Thanks,
