TITLE: E=mc2 COUNTRY: Croatia WEBPAGE: http://pubwww.srce.hr/~mburazin RENDERER USED: Povray 3.0 TOOLS USED: My body and soul. RENDER TIME: 20 minutes and a few secs... but it was on low render priority HARDWARE USED: 486DX2/66 12MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I had another idea for the image, but I have a too slow pc to experiment, because i needed a lot of effects for that idea so I thought this could be fine. I also tryed to map a imagemap on the apple but it seems that the imagemap is applied on every blob object separatly, so it looked like an apple chessboard hahahah LOL, and on the other hand I was really busy theese last days so I had not much time for a better work, but hey! It's my first IRTC entry what else to say... and maybe when I buy myself a faster pc then I could experiment and make nicer things. I won't have time for the next topic b'cause I'll be on vacation... but maybe next time... :-) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Uhh, very simply... I created the apple using positive sphere blobs... only the "poles" :) i made using negative spheres, but not one, i used a few of them so the transition would be smoother, I also applied some bumpiness to the texture, but I'm not fully satisfied with it... it needs more work on it and that's a fact... I know it :) But like I mentioned it's one of my first experiments with POV, so for the beginning aint so bad :) The text E=mc2 i wrote using the text command of pov, the font is one that shipps together with pov, and of course the number 2 is a separate text, joust made a bit smaller... And hey...Tnx for reading my garbage :) LOL
