JPGFILE: prima.jpg RENDERER USED: PovRay 3.5 TOOLS USED: Moray 3.5, Wings and Corel Draw RENDER TIME: 35 min HARDWARE USED: Pentium III 1.1GHz 256RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: When I read the subjet of this entrie I thought everybody was going to draw something connected with earthquackes, or twisters or vulcanos and things like that. As I'm not very good I thought of doing something simpler. In my opinion life is one of the strongest forces of the nature. Many catastrophes have taken place all along the history of the planet. And despite of them, life still goes on. Even when it starts in a very dainty way. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The enviroment is a sphere with a simple agate texture. It is the first time I use a complex volume (created with Wings). The result was quite good for being the first time. But as it was only "quite good" I decided to use a strong and good quality blur for two reasons. First because is a good way to give images an intrinsic realism. The second was to hide the defects of the baby (who hasn_t ever done something like this? not being Gilles Trans of Piqueres). There is something strange in this image; the bubles. She (is a girl) wont be able to breath with her own lungs until she is born. But those bubles are there because it was the only way I found of giving the idea of being inmersed into a liquid. I couldn't do much with lights in this direction (she is supposed to be inside a woman).
