It was created during my daily Cal-Trains ride to work. I want to thank all of the people who have contributed to Pov-ray and free software in general. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started to model the forms in Moray. Most of the forms are CSG. The bubbles inside the test tube are my first macro, made up of the rand function inside of a while loop. I played with lighting and focus and fine tuning in pov-ray's text editor.
