JPGFILE: techcf.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray 3.1g TOOLS USED: Rhinoceros 3D 1.1, Moray 3.3 beta, Photoshop 5LE RENDER TIME: about 10 hours HARDWARE USED: PII-350/512MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This shows the contrast between the possibilities of making a photo and computer graphics. Because I come from the technical side I want to show things you normally can't see. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: All modelling was done in Rhinoceros 3D. All is very detailed, exact dimensions, the threads are real threads, the sieves have real holes and so on. The materials are fine tuned materials from Morays library, some were built from scratch. Only the wallpaper is an image. As always when making an image the time spent for modelling was much shorter then for setting up the scene an lightning. Some test renders, the tweaking and small changes took their time too. Normally, when the goal is to have an image, I take Photoshop for small changes. That's often much faster than tracing. But this image is pure render output, Photoshop was used for JPGing only.
