EMAIL: robert_creager@stortek.com NAME: Robert Creager TOPIC: Time COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: Winpov 3. TOOLS USED: cjpeg RENDER TIME: 2:13 HARDWARE USED: Pent-100 16M IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Inner grears and springs of a watch with hour, minute and second hand capabilities. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Well, an old clock was taken apart for a model, and I didn't model it. But it provided some good inspiration... I came up with some equations for a given gear radius and tooth count and had my trusty HP-48SX solve for gear tooth sizes. Then it was just a matter of getting the correct gear ratios so that we have a second-hand gear, minute-hand gear and hour-hand gear. This model is capable of animation, which will happen when the model is completly finished. I ran out of time and didn't finish the escapement wheel and thingy that makes it tick. Also needed of course is the support structure, as it was designed to actually fit into one... This is my second entry into the competition (and my second scene in povray), the first being the Dec 94 games competition with rscgame (you have to read the text file to understand my meger attempts at symbolism).
