<<I find myself using manual techniques more often than the automatic features to create the look I want. For example, I rarely use booleans because I think you can do better manually with advance planning, in most cases.>> So I guess you feel the same way I do – that computer renderings need to have some aspect of irregularity or "real life errors". There's a lot to said for the beauty of computer perfection, but at the same time, the randomness of nature is something _extremely_ difficult to duplicate. James

James, yes it's rather ironic really. We spend extra time trying to put real life imperfections in our photorealistic renderings, while people who work in real life media, like studio photography, spend extra time trying to get rid of imperfections.
