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).rthorvald wrote:Can i ask how you did the clouds... Are they part of the CMOD?
I'll let you know if I ever find a good solution for the clouds.

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

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

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.

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.
