JPGFILE: greatswo.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray 3 TOOLS USED: Rhinocerous, Povray RENDER TIME: 34 minutes HARDWARE USED: Celeron 566, 256mb ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is a fantasy greatsword, originaly it was to be part of a scene, but the scene didn't get modeled in time for the competition close, so here is the best part of it. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The sword was modeled in Rhinoceros, using a few lofts for the blade and gaurd, the cool thing that looks like a bearing race is modled with some CSG and Radial arays, and the grip and pommel are a variety of Rotations and Extrusions... The texturing was done by hand in Povray, and reflections were done with a nice blue sky sphere with clouds.. whee.. The shadows are from two area lights with a 1x1 size
