A microscopic view of the inside of a blood vessel in which two white blood cells are seen patrolling the body.

Excellent work. Is that a particle fountain generating your red blood cells?

It isn't big and flashy, but its certainly gorgeous.

nope, they were positioned by hand...all 230,000+ polys of them. ( as you can imagine,my computer didn't like this scene very much (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))

I can believe it. One of my scenes (Raindance Station) in its final form came in at something like 280K polys. Truespace just about gave birth to cats.

Good job with the placement. You might be able to fill out the foreground more, and eliminate a lot of far background geometry (or at least simplify it. That would certainly speed up your render.

That looks pretty cool. How about a hostile bacterium or two as well? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Maybe Carl cloned himself; either that, or this is his evil twin Shivan brother. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

But you are still an admin
maybe it should be admin IPs that cant enter
Otherwise we could have someone named steak enter an array

It does seem a little shady, even for a Shivan.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/cool.gif)

the white blood cells could use some beam cannons... and there needs to be a virus or something for them to shoot at... because we all know thats what actually is happening inside our body.
