HARDWARE USED:

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The scene takes place in the Church of Dot-Com and 
shows one of the last few, worshiping the once 
great idol.  On closer inspection a lighted hallway, 
running the length of the cathedral and across the 
back, can be seen just above the banners.  Now doubt,
few stockholders have considered throwing themselves
onto their idol from this lofty position.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The scene has about sixty light sources with one spotlight. 
Some media ws added to show the path of the spotlight. Poser 4 
was used for the worshiper. Keith Rule's Wcvt2pov was used 
to convert the Poser file to POV.   The banners are recycled 
from one of my previous IRTC entries and PhotoStyler was 
used for the dollar sign bitmap.  The light fixtures are 
also from the same previous IRTC entry.  Everything else is 
just a bunch of CSG with a lot of spheres, cylinders, torii 
and boxes.

Well that about it, a pretty short text file for me.
Good Luck to all.
