In the spirit of rthorvard's earlier post, here is some more exponential zooming.

That was really great!
Can i ask how you did the clouds... Are they part of the CMOD?

Okay, you're really making me drool here....

WOW!! That was way beyond my needs.

No, they're separate from the main model -- I'm not very happy with this approach at this stage, as there are various problems such as depth sorting (not evident in these pics).
I'll let you know if I ever find a good solution for the clouds.

That was a bit of a surprise!

What was a surprise?

Zooming all the way in (through one of the 'windows'?), to find the guy standing there with his screen display showing the image of himself in the zoom!

Look carefully at that last image and you should even be able to tell me his name. It's quite obvious , really.

Am I to believe that none of you intelligent people have managed to deduce his name?....do I need to give a clue?

I've looked a couple times. I got nothing.

Likewise.

You should think about what he's actually doing in the scene...

i.e. There's a big clue to his identity in the title-bar and address-box of his browser window.

Yeah, it's really obvious that it is YOU while you are creating this very topic.
So his name has to be "Chuft-Captain" ...

Yes, I can see he's posting in the forums here, but all I can make out in the address box is "http" something something ".php"... so either I need a newer bigger monitor or new glasses - or both.

LordFerret,

of course, all you can read ist "shatters.net :: Post a new topic". But the pictures in the window make it very clear that it is THIS topic, and you can easily check who has posted it.
See?

Bye Andy

Well done gentlemen. Between you, you have successfully deduced the paradoxical nature of this thread.

I should also mention that it wasn't easy to upload such a photo-intensive thread from such a remote location (The speed of the Inter-Planetary-Internet is still only equivalent to dial-up speeds ), but as reward for your observations, I will replace the original post with more attractive "polaroid" versions.
