ANIMATION DESCRIPTION:
A long time ago, Jesus accomplished the miracle of changing water into wine.
Since this time, man is waiting for a sign of god.
The animation shows this Miracle, done once again inside a big cathedral.
There is sound in this animation, and synchronicity between image and sound, so it's a good idea to branch your headphones.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED:
The cathedral took me a lot of time, especially to raise the detail level and to make it realistic.
I used a animated noisy and ray-traced material to make the transformation of water into wine.
The Chalice have a metallic ray-traced material too.

I used particules to make the angel dust, on which i applied ligthning and glow effects.
I used volumetric light to make the god light.

The mpeg compression make a great loss of quality in picture and sound.
