Not really.  The curve for the lambda was generated by Krishnamurthi,  
Flatt, & Findler (IIRC).  I mapped it onto a 3d shape, and then  
rendered it with ...  hmm, can't even remember the name of that open- 
source renderer.  Ah well. Eli worked on it later, as well, getting it  
to a higher resolution and state of polish.
