hint: you don't need lots of trig.  use various rotate/translate/scale commands

instead.  it's worth it to have something like this:
translate <...,...,...>
rotate  x * ...
translate <...,...,...>
rotate y * ...
translate <...,...,...>

to avoid trig.

Nice juxtaposition of images. I'm not sure that the 'science' aspect is as well
represented as you wanted; the edge of the table doesn't quite look right; I
suspect you were going for a rough edge (which is a good idea) but it appears
to be just graininess.

From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
I like the image overall, it appears to me to be more than the sum of it's
parts.
I guess I like the way it 'feels' for me.  I don't like the texture of the
pool,
I don't find it distracting, and it doesn't take away from the overal picture, 
so maybe that's the way it was meant to be, but I don't see any depth.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
quite a nice concept, but the texture of the background are too strong and draw
attention away from the focus. Myself I think the legs of the table are not
really elegant. A higher JPEG quality setting would improve the image a lot,
especially the JPEG artifacts on the picture with the H2O molecules are quite
ugly.
Speaking of "accurate" atomic radius is somewhat impossible as atoms are not
solid spheres. Its "radius" is determined by the outer electron orbitals which
are in very diffuse (in fact infinitely expanded) probablity functions.

Like the H2O picture ;-)

Though the bringing together of objects representing water seems a little=

 I'll have to experiment, but I wonder if csg-differencing a plane off th=

how this would affect the image look though. (or even if it would work)

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Hey, I think recognize one of those pictures...
The glass tabletop is good, but the small torus-shaped supports are
distracting.
The pool itself was completely lost to me somehow, then it suddenly snapped into
place.
But c'mon, who would place two pictures on a poolside table?
