majid,

Thanks for sharing, and happy new year. The render looks great. Lots of interesting pieces. Did you do the fish in SketchUp? On a larger note, what is BARAKA, besides being all around us?

Fred

PS Looking forward to hearing more about your modeling techniques.

majid

like a fish in the water that can't feel it ,we are in Barak (=blessing, abundance, prosperous effect) that sorrounds us and we don't see its shining light . more information: http://www.ask.com/web?q=norooz&search=&qsrc=0&o=0&l=dir

Happy New Year tto you and your family,

We have a woman in our office from Iran and she brought in sweet cookies with raisens (they were so good), to celebrate the occassion.

With so many cultures and celebrations, its a wonderful way to go through the year - enjoying everyone's holidays and holy days. Not to mention getting to eat so many wonderful and interesting food!

Thanks for sharing,

Allen

happy nowrooz majid! isn't nowrooz also the occasion, where a bonfire is lit and people jump over it? what is the meaning of that?

majid

thanx foks and best wishes . dear eeva, the occasion that you say is called "charshanbe soory" that means "celeberation of wednesday" . it is an ancient celeberation that happenes at the last wednesday evening of the year . and means that we give our yellow ( = illness) to fire and get Red (= healthy) from it (we jump happily over the fire and say a poem that means what i wrote). it is a symbolic celeberation . happy to know that you know about this things about Iran
