IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This is a model of the gas chamber used in America to execute criminals.
I don't know if it's used anymore. 

On which side of the one-way mirrors would you like to sit? 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The main hull and the door of the chamber were modelled in Rhino and 
exported to Moray UDO/POV inc format (33 MB in size). Everything else 
including the chair and details of the chamber were modelled in Moray. 
Textures are basic (no image maps, no media) POV textures created in 
Moray.
I used Photoshop for PNG --> JPG converion. 

The arealights hanging from the ceiling are 'fake'. They are simple 
CSG boxes containing two point lights each and the glass surfaces 
are white boxes with no_shadow keyword and {ambient 1.0 diffuse 1.0} 
finish.

I added one pointlight inside the chamber and another outside near the
ceiling to show some of the details. All lights have fade distance and 
fade power of 3 (chamber height is approx 4 units).
