JPGFILE: venus.jpg RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3 for Windows TOOLS USED: Spatch, Poser2, Rhino 3D, Photoshop 4.0 RENDER TIME: 25 hours 43 minutes 14 seconds HARDWARE USED: Pentium 133 with 32Mb RAM, Windows 95 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This scene shows an art gallery that contains a greek motive. In the center of the room lies the Venus of Milo, which mainly inspired this scene, on each side of the room lies an amphora over a pedestal the one on the right is atributted to Euphiletos (530 B.C.) and the one on the left is atributted to Exekias (540 B.C.). The columns around the room are just a simply model of a greek column. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Most of the scene was created using Rhino 3D, except for the columns, the pedestals for the amphoras and all of the floor that were created using the POV text editor. The figure of the Venus were taken from Poser2. The model was exported to Rhino and edited using some boolean differences to get the right shape for the arms. The dress and hair of the model were created in Rhino, then all the entire model was exported to POV. Both of the amphoras were created using Spatch with the lathe tool. The texture image for these objects were scanned and then edited using Photoshop. The atmospheric effect and the lightning instensity and direction were adjusted to get the effect of a shinny day contrasting with a slightly ilumminated interior without overexposing the bright side or leaving the dark side without any detail.
