JPGFILE: icaros.jpg ZIPFILE: icaros.zip RENDERER USED: Wayward Brains' Raytracer TOOLS USED: Fractal Design Painter 3.0,xpaint, ImageMagic RENDER TIME: 4 hrs 45 min HARDWARE USED: Pentium 133MHz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: It is an idea of my girlfriend... When I told her I'd like to enter this competition she immediately told me she would do something _falling_ (she said it's the most interesting kind of flight.. :) P.S. I have posted two images (see flyer.jpg) and I have not managed to create the third idea I had... I will put it on my webpage.... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I used the Fractal Design Painter to create bitmaps... the heightfield, the water surface and the sky (it's mapped on an ellipsoid) the objects and general composition was made partly in JOE and XJED text editors and in Windows Notepad :(. In the final version I added a little focal blur. I hope the machine will make it ( I still wait for the final image..:))
