IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
The standardization of weights and measures through the use of accurate scales revolutionized commerce and made much of modern science--especially medicine and chemistry--possible.
Yet the fundamental design of scales have not appreciably changed since primitive man hung a piece of meat on one end of a stick and counterweighted it with a rock.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
Meshes of all objects were original and modeled in Rhino 2.0, imported into Bryce 5 and textured and lit.  Rendering was straightforward though tedious as it always is with Bryce.
