    Hmm, I had to look at Txemi's first image to see what's involved. It 
could be made the filigree way, but I think it would be faster to make it by 
piercing the pattern out with a saw. You'd draw the pattern on a piece of 
sheet silver, and then saw out all the bits that you don't need, leaving an 
open lattice. With the settings, I'd make a model and get it cast to save 
time. :)

I'm impressed. Something quite different from coding POV primitives  ;-)

The first pic was good, but this one beats it any day IMO. I particularly
like the color scheme. Are you using filter or transmit? And what about
photons?

CSG, he uses the "difference" -method to cut out pieces of one big part.

Sorry I'm late, I hanged online behind GPRS for 2 months, so I have a
little catch-on to do.
