JPGFILE: ee_3dpad.jpg RENDERER USED: POV-Ray Unofficial 3.1r2 for PPC TOOLS USED: POV-Ray Unofficial, xRes 2.0 RENDER TIME: 00 05 44 HARDWARE USED: PPC 750@266 MHz - 512K L2@166; MacOS 8.5.1 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A holographic pad for modelling artificial worlds. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I got this idea after reading about the two people that were modifying LCD monitors to display 3 dimensional objects. I thought that something like that could be really useful for modelling. Instead of a monitor I imagined a pad similar to digital drawing boards, that is able to holographically display the objects. All objects were created from within POV-Ray Unofficial's own texteditor. The cords were created using Jochen Lippert's sphere_sweep primitive.
