TITLE: The Loneliest Number COUNTRY: USA RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.1 TOOLS USED: Moray 3.3 RENDER TIME: 1h 5m HARDWARE USED: Athlon 600 Mhz, 128 MB ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do" - One, Three Dog Night (www.threedognight.com) This lyric is the first thing that came to mind when I saw the topic was Loneliness. I decided to portray it literally. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The first thing I created was the 'one' figure out of rounded cubes and cylinders. I modeled it with joints in what would be the knees, waist and neck in order to pose it as needed. The bench and streetlight were modeled after real world object I found searching the internet. Both were created from CSGs. I tried to keep the textures simple and cartoonish. The bench uses slightly modified stock Moray textures. The wall uses Jeff Lee's brick texture technique (http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/raytrace/bricks.html). The lighting comes from an area light on top of the streetlight with low ambient light. The zip file contains the Moray file as well as the exported POV-Ray files.
