Journal       : I created this image to show off the new whirlpool galaxy mesh
                I have been working on these last few weeks. I am especially
                proud of this mesh because it prooved far more difficult to
                make than I first thought. While it would be a relatively easy
                task on some other render programs, 3DSMAX simply isn't
                designed to create this sort of effect. After weeks of
                tweaking (and using almost every unpublished trick I know), I
                feel that I have finally created a mesh that looks at least
                somewhat realistic from most any angle.
