(yes, this picure is about childbearing ;-) I don't want to waste words how this comes to the actual topic,I hope that You all understand how I mean this picture, and will not protest for a cross section of a pregnant woman :-I (ugh, too morbid!?) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: First of all, I was searching for some photos about eyes and embryos on Internet(Unfortunately all low res. so I had to make texturemaps from nothing, I used Photoshop for this. A few brushstrokes and some filters applied on them). As my old, goodlooking eye-modell had been lost, I built a newone in Rhino, just like the modell of the embryo. Both lofted from a few curves, exported to Moray's UDO format. The eyeball is a CSG of some spheres and cylinders. The hardest part of the work was the creation of the eyelashes: I tried to make them being realy 3D cylinders, cones, lofts), but it didn't work (at least with my practice- I've never tried before), so at last I made a surfacepatch, and gave it a transparent map. (If You have better, please let me get it known!) The reflected man was a last minute (last night) idea. So I borrowed the mesh of that figure from Andras Heger (a.k.a. Rainfall), Thank You, Andras! I used moray to put them all together, and rendered via Povray. THANKS go to everyone, who helped me: Julianna, Rainfall, Koros DEDICATED to my older sister, she knows why; and maybe so do You ;-)
