i just woke up. here's a few points. 1. THIS above is my latest render, not what Bryster posted. There's very few differences, but the differences that DO exist make it better. This piece has been in my gallery for all this time. That specific image is 400kb or so, I had to cut this down in quality, so I'd suggest people go see that. 2. In terms of the spokes or whatever, there's actually SIX of them, at least according to the site above. Take it up with the University of Virginia if you don't like it. 3. The purpose of the challenge, as I understood it, was to create a model of the Crystal Palace. I admit Bryster's slightly better than mine :) All that said, to do this by boolean modelling was crazy. I finished the modelling in 3 days of on and off work. It took me another day or so just to multi-replicate and create the scene in itself. I'm sure Bryster was busy and so on, but for his 303mb file, I have a 160mb one. As far as I'm concerned, given the fact that it was his challenge and his rules, I'm happy with the point I was trying to prove. Mihnea
