IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    This is a typical scene for my daughter when she
plays with her Lite Brite. I told her that I liked her Clown and I
took a picture. I got the idea that it would look great for the
Ray-Tracing Competition. I then decided to recreate the photo 
in Ray-Tracing. I did not know what I was getting into ... ;)
The bands up on the wall are a kit you can buy made out of foam that 
sticks to the wall.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    I first made a table to put the Lite
Brite on. Then I made full screen of pegs all white, pegs
everywhere. And I removed the ones I did not need. I used a calculator
and a drawing on a paper to figure out the ones to remove.
After that it was to color the pegs. I created 2 more Lite Brite
drawing with the same system on black sheets. One of a sailboat on 
the right side and a train in front of the game.
The color of the walls and the wallpaper is very close to the real
thing.
I love to use Breeze 2 but when I was rendering I kept getting some
bugs, for the first time I had to fix and write some codes by hand.
By the way there is over 300 pegs in the Clown.
It took over 25 hours of planning, coding and modelling to get it like this.
Hope you like it.
