JPGFILE: starl.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray 3 TOOLS USED: Povray 3, Galaxy.inc, lensflar.inc , FORM.EXE RENDER TIME: 3.5 hours HARDWARE USED: Pentium 2 233Mhz 64Mb Ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The StarLobster is feeding on the cosmic rays of the nearby stars. This was an experiment in using lensflares with a mathematical placement formula. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I first mutated a form file using a minus number. I then converted to an inc file. The textures were a mixture of various organic textures, that I have. I then applied a random seed to galaxy.inc, to create the nice galaxy. Then I created a lovely lensflare placement routine,based on random numbers. I then just raytraced the image.
