IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


My take on a world within a world (no this is not my brain, and no 2 of the
neurons are not inhibitory). Little bit of a stretch on the topic, but as I
view it, both the outside universe and internal human physiology are energetic
incomprehensibly complex worlds with a human squished somewhere inbetween.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Created the meshes using Wings -- great subD surface modeler BTW, converted with
3DWin, and then fiddled with the texture. SEM effect is made with a pigment
slope map, a little bump mapping and subtle scattering media. For the texture
see the newsgroups. No zip file attached.
