TITLE: Solid Gold CD Player NAME: Dewey Brooks COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: dabrooks@lava.net WEBPAGE: www.lava.net/~dabrooks TOPIC: Arts and Entertainment COPYRIGHT: I submit to the standard raytracing competion copyright. JPGFILE: irtc_s1.jpg RENDERER USED: poray 3.0 TOOLS USED: povray 3.0, and Photoshop 4.0 for final editing RENDER TIME: 4 hours HARDWARE USED: Cyrix 686 200Mhz, 65MB ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This image represents the solid gold nature of the entertianment industry. With all the glitter and glitz from every facade. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This work started out life as the first scene I managed to render from povray, note the tri colored spheres. And with the indispensible help from the great people from news:comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing, evolved into the shining final image. I would especially like to thank Derek Owens for his excellent tutorial that is written in a language so even an artist can understand. The composition was created around the three spheres and the CD disc in a geometric abstract style, to emphasize the reflective texture, and the bright and malliable properties of solid gold metal.
