If that is the case I can't wait to see what you can do when you master the
program. This is impressive as it is.

And more congratulations for not overdoing the focal blur !!!!!!!

Not bad (well, the render time *is* :))
But the real things have a slightly different mesh: Instead of one direction
converging at the poles, it is centered around a different axis. If you know
what I mean. So when seen from the top, it looks like a (more or less) perfect
square grid.
Why not use sphere sweeps? I fancy they'd be faster.

That is a beautiful render, technically clever, and impressive in its
execution. Images related to sound, of a sound detection device lets
say, can open up subtle conceptual possibities.

You know you haven't been raytracing enough, when your simple things
take 86 hours to render ;p.

Yes, now that you mention it, I think you're right. I wonder how they form the
wire mesh into a ball (or hemisphere, as the case may be, which is probably
easier) without a visible 'pole' showing? If just a hemisphere, I guess you
could simply press the pre-made mesh into a bowl-shaped form or mold, and
accept the slight distortion (?)

The mesh is just pressed against a ball. The center is undistorded, there is
also about no distortion going up-down and sideway. The diagonals are distorted.
Then, a metal ring is placed around and welded in place. The exess parts are
then cut away. End result: an hemisphere. Two are fitted together, the back one
having a hole cut into it to fit the body of the mycrophone.

THE worldwide professionnal reference for voice microphone is Shure SM58
http://www.polymix-dj.com/catalog/images/SSH-SM58-LCE-B.jpg
Note that it does not come with any switch .
Switching a mike on/off is a too serious case to let it at user good will (a
sound engineer POV :-)
No shiny finish either... a microphone must be sort of stealth.

That makes sense. I've never actually looked close-up at my own Shure
microphone, to see just how the mesh hemispheres are constructed, and what mesh
distortions they may have. Now I'm curious!
