TITLE: Tri-Ball NAME: Hot Rod COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: southerneagle@shelby.net WEBPAGE: none TOPIC: Glass COPYRIGHT: I submit to the standard Raytracing Competition JPGFILE: triball.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray for Windows TOOLS USED: Corel 5 RENDER TIME: 10 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium 100 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Three differently colored glass balls all touching at the origin hovering above a glass plane with a starry background complimented with blue swirls. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I used a basic geometric formula to figure the centers of the spheres so that they would meet in the middle. I added filters, reflections, and phongs to highlight the spheres and the plane to create a glass-like appearance. I placed a light source in each of the spheres to create a glowing effect. The background was created with a skysphere statement with bozo statement to create the swirls.
