RENDERER USED: Wayward Brains' Raytracer PV 0.933

IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

 When I decided to enter the competition I thought of what the "Time" means
to us. Among plenty of other things it RULES. IT is the MASTER.. Time or at
least it's "followers" watches, clocks.... and we just live in fear,
controlled by them, just like puppets or SLAVES.
So here we are in a landscape full of gigantic Masters.
It's called "Masters and Slaves".

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

I think the most interesting thing about this image, is that It represents
not only the work spent on the image itself but also on the raytracer.
We had to implement many new features just to be able to make it. 
For example the slight fog above the ground was implemented just about 14
days ago. I have to thank my friend and member of the Wayward Brains Team
MMCC for his cooperation in the development of the raytracer
So now about the scene: 
Objects: 
	the clocks were written by hand without any modeller as a CSG
	structures. In fact I made more clocks and watches than I really 
	used :) so they can be found in the sources but not in the final 
	version of the picture. The people are made as height fields out 
	of bitmaps made in Fractal Design Painter  :)
Textures:
	the sky texture is pretty old. It is a photograph of a sunset, but
	I had to modify it to look like continuous texture all around 360
	degrees. I made it by hand ( about half of the image is made by me)
	using Photoshop 2.5. As I wrote it is old and I didn't make it
	exclusively  it for this image. 
	Ground texture is made in Fractal Design Painter 3 and the bump
	texture is originally a marble color texture ( you wouldn't guess so
	would you ?)
	The shape of hands and faces of the clocks were made in Corel Xara
	and FD Painter.
