Just looking for good demos to view.

This really make me wonder if these plants could exist naturally...The mental processing would be huge for all of those eyes.

Most realistic use of computer graphics ever

I wouldn't say that, but the way the lighting has been matched to the natural light is excellent!

I guess if you consider each of the lenses in a fly's compound eye as a separate eye, or the fact that a spider has 8 excellent eyes, and those animals aren't exactly massively brained, it would be possible...:)

This really makes me try to figure out the internal structures. Imagine eating one of these things as a veggie. Your mouth would be filled with writhing and retracting eye stocks. Hmmm perhaps I need to be on medication.

Potatoes have eyes.

But runner beans haven't got any legs.  Go figure.

And broad beans are narrow compared to potatoes for instance.
