IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Hear it like in the good old times, but look like you're from tomorrow...

Music today, if not performed live, has to be listened to via iPod, of course.
But the idea is not really new, it's just a modern walkman. I wondered who was
its predecessor, and ended up with these tiny music boxes.

And since a fascinating aspect of raytracing is the possibility to create non
existing objects photorealistically, at best, I just merged old and new to
create a modern looking old instrument.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Unfortunately, I am pretty busy at the moment and could not care for a nice
scene, textures, camera settings, radiosity and proper lightning after I
finished with creating the iPodRetro. But since it was designed for the IRTC I
submitted it anyway. Hope you have fun with it.

All objects are CSG. Loops where used to create the gear wheels, nipples and
these vibrating metal things.

The textures are very simple POV-Ray textures, some of them with reflections
enabled, and GIMP-made png pictures mapped on surfaces.

Two lengthy area lights.


Created entirely with open source software.

Note:
I accidently deleted some files after rendering, the restored textures file may
contain slightly different textures for the brown folders in the background
than in the submitted picture.
