IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

A DIY attempt at building an electric clock from bits & pieces.  Much
the sort of thing I used to dabble with as a schoolboy many years ago...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

Done entirely in Povray 3.0 using lots & lots of those lovely #while
loops and superellipsoids.

The sketch of the gears was obtained by rendering the gear-train in
povray, then using PaintShop Pro image filters.

Most of the rendering time comes from the area lights used to give the
soft shadows.
