“The gamut of possible images derived from a model is constrained by what is physically possibly. Conversely, the digital image has no constraints, which requires proportionate extra care, effort, and art direction to ensure the images rendered look realistic from all angles. A model provides interactive lighting, atmospheric effects, radiosity, organic textures, and complexity of shape for free, by virtue of existing in the real world.”

“I suddenly began to think about time as the thing that unites an endless rosary of senseless events; and also about the fact that only in the sequence of these events is there meaning; and that it's not God, not love, not beauty, not the greatness of intellect that determines this world, but only time -- the flow of time and the glimmering of human life within it.
Human life is its sustenance. Time consumes everything living by the ton, like a gigantic blue whale consumes microscopic plankton, milling and chewing it into a homogenous mass, so that one life disappears without a trace, giving another, the next life, a chance. Yet it wasn't the disappearance that grieved me the most, but the tracelessness of it. I thought to myself: I've already got one foot there, out in complete forgottenness.”
