IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


    This image is a large garden space with the mansion as a backdrop.  The
emphasis on
    this image is the massive organics associated with the plant materials
included in
    the render.  Using the techniques documented at the angelfire site, this
image 
    represents more than 27,000,000 native POV objects.  It would be impossible
