JPGFILE: impact.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray 3.1 TOOLS USED: Moray only. RENDER TIME: about 7 hours HARDWARE USED: P2 350mhz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: industrial asteroid with fog, old metal, and Armaggedon impact! DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: (sorry for my english) I can say more about it, but what is really strange on that pictures cr_ation is: The asteroid is a glass media sphere, with a plane heigfield on the center, but it looks like the heigfield is ON the sphere. at the beginning i just want to create a "dome" on a city. if you look at the heigfield surface you will see stars reflection on it , in fact it's reflection on the glass media shere. The red "tache" at the bottom on the heigfield are also reflection on the sphere from the impact object! I used some plugins, like galaxy and city from chris colefax, and a modified Pipe.inc (with new object i create like container) from G.Tran. The impact himself is media object i made under moray. Hope you like that dark city!
