TITLE: Piranese COUNTRY: France WEBPAGE: www.archeofiction.com RENDERER USED: MacMegaPOV 1.0 TOOLS USED: MacMegaPOV 1.0, photoshop RENDER TIME: 8 h HARDWARE USED: MAC G4 450 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: in all my works I always use our magic tools not to reproduce the reality, but to give to my dreams the apparence of the reality : I try to be a dreamcatcher... this time, I tried to catch an architectural dream of a great dreamer : Piranèse (1720-1778): carceri invenzione - planche 6b (http://piranesi.free.fr/carc6b.JPG). DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: everything was hand coded directly in POV . Big deal to find the good way to respect the perspective (long focus and long distance beetwen camera and subject) atmospheric effects to make the background clear.
