JPEGFILE:fromttot.jpg TITLE: From Trash to Treasures COUNTRY: United States WEBPAGE: None RENDERER USED: povray 3.6 TOOLS USED: Microsoft Excel RENDER TIME: 11 min 3 sec. HARDWARE USED: HP Pavlion at 733 MHZ pentium IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I keep seeing items on the Antique Road Show that people have either found in the trash or purchased for a small sum. All of the items on the table were free (except for the blue vase) including the table that I reconstructed from the pieces. The blue vase is based on a piece of Roseville pottery that is valued at approximately $40,000(I'm not sure of the colors so I picked my own). The Art Deco print was rescued form the trash by a dealer and my wife purchased it for a small amount.The dog is from a yard long print that was given to my wife. I probably wouldn't try to get the items even though they are free, because the dog has pretty sharp teeth. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Mostof the image was created with CSG. THe tree was made from Gilles Tran's tree macro and the colors added to the foliage file using Excel. The ledge that the lighthouse is on was created from smooth triangles created in excel.
