RENDERER USED: Povray 3.0 TOOLS USED: Moray, Blob Sculptor, Paint Shop Pro (heightfields etc.) RENDER TIME: around 1 hour HARDWARE USED: 686 120+ IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This image dipicts a human sacrificing a poor defenseless alien to appease his blood thirsty government. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I like to make alien models and live models of things in MORAY, so I took some of those model and put them together in a scene. I originally planned a big big big fight scene but moray messed up the povray source code so it became impossible to render :(. After much annoyance I made this scene of an alien and a human. I like to use blobs for large parts of the body because it gives it detail while still resembling a blob-like organic look. I used a hieghtfield background which seems to give a neat brimstoney effect. I had much trouble getting a torus to use a halo properley. I had fun on this picture. The blood is a heightfield too. I'd prefer if you ASKED before you use my human/alien models because I worked hard on them :)
