JPGFILE: oppo_2.jpg RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.1g.watcom.win32 Pentium II optimized TOOLS USED: POV-Ray 3.1g.watcom.win32 Pentium II optimized , IrfanView (to create jpeg from bmp POV output) RENDER TIME: 1h05m20s HARDWARE USED: AMD Athlon XP2000+, 1.67GHz, 512MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The idea was to play with opposites. My First thought was Complex vs Simple. So the complex "C3PO" type robot was made vs. the simple "R2D2" variant. After that thing got out of hand ... topics like old vs. new, opposite directions, up vs. down, one vs. many, smooth vs. rough, oppague vs. clear and so forth just popped into my head as I progressed. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Evething is mane of simple cylinders, spheres, cubes and a superellipsoid for small robot body. Very simple textures used. Took about 6hours of programming.
