EMAIL: mark@revcan.ca NAME: Mark Mintz TOPIC: Time COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: POVRay 2.2 TOOLS USED: Corel 5.0, Corel PhotoPaint, DOS Edit RENDER TIME: 5 Hours, 31 Minutes, 43 Seconds HARDWARE USED: Silicon Graphics Indy (R5000 processor) IMAGE DESCRIPTION: "Cross Time Train" This is a scene from a short story I wrote about a commuter who travelled through time, rather than through space, to get to work. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started off with the basic "subway car" shape and then started poking holes in it for windows and stuff. I put the station around it with the platform and added the rails. The woman and the punker I did out in their own individual files first and then moved them over to be include files with whatever scaling and rotating was necessary. The bitmaps for the logo on the subway car ("TTC - Temporal Transit Commission"), the "line signs" and the newspaper logo were all done in Corel Draw and then exported as TGA files. I had to modify some of the colors so they'd render properly and that was done in PhotoPaint. Most of the development work was done on my 486 2/50 at home and at lunch on my P75 at work, but the final render was shipped over to one of the SGIs we use at work. (You gotta love those blue boxes!) I figure that the P75 would have taken about three times longer to render.
