IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    A mannequin stares at it's own reflection that is reflected
in a mirror behind it.  A narcissist is one who is so absorbed in self worship
that they forget about everything around them.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    I tried to make this as simple as
possible.  The mirror was made using a freeform modeller.  The frame was made
first then shaded with this wonderful elm burl shading texture I have.  I then
made the pillars for the stand, shaded them with the same elm burl, then pinned
them to the frame with some bolt made in the freeform modeller. A flat plane
was made to fit the frame and shaded with a mirrored glass shader.  The ground
is an infinite plane shaded with a purple tile shader.  The mannequin is a
stock model that came on my program disk.  The sky is setup in the scene
setting and creates a backdrop for the whole scene.  I used a standard daylight
with light clouds setting.
