RENDERER USED: PovRay for Windows 3.0.beta.7a.winwat32 TOOLS USED:Paint Shop Pro (to convert TGA to JPG) RENDER TIME: 3h 40min HARDWARE USED: 486DX-75 PC IMAGE DESCRIPTION:Frozen Time A watch in an ice-cube with a snowy landscape. The feeling of being helpless in front of time. The same watch indicates several hours, just because it is reflected in an ice-cube. Time has many faces (reflections in the cube) but at the end it never changes, thus it is frozen (ice-cube in snowy landscape). DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: We used exclusively PovRay for Windows 3.0. The numbers of the watch are made with the "text" feature of PovRay 3.0. The signature is a height-field using a gif-file created by Paint-Shop Pro. The landscape is another gif-file projected on a box. The cube is a superellipsoid with a glass-like texture, using a diamond refraction (ior 2.4) and some reflection. The rounded shape of the superellipsoid gives some nice effects. Standard "texture.inc" file by PovRay is used. frozen.gif: landscape by KODAK copy.gif: height_field file for signature frozen.inc: the watch (can be used as "object{Watch}") uhr.ttf: font-file for digits (times.ttf)
