Hmmm, ask me that again after you produce a render at 20ftx10ft with the
kind of detail in that Balboa Park photo...

I think the real issue isn't how much detail is lost, but how much detail
exists in the original. And you probably need (at least) a supercomputer to
model & render something like that.

Be loads of fun though!
