JPGFILE: godschem.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray 3.5 TOOLS USED: Moray 3.3, Povray, MGI photosuite RENDER TIME: 2.5 hours HARDWARE USED: AMD 450 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I was thinking what the best way to discribe a world within a world, and I though of all the individual atoms. This is a portrayal of "God's Chemestry set" building a DNA molecule. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: First I spent several days trying to model the individual elements. Nearly every element that I could find a picture of I modeled a texture for. The main rendering was at a resolution four times greater than this. A lot of the detail was lost in the noise from the compression. Then I seperatly modeled the DNA model and used models of Jupiter and two of it's moons from the USGS website, and modeled them around a sphere. Then I build a hollow sphere as a starscape. The main rendering was 5.4 megs, but it is breathtaking. This forced me to cut it down a bit with MGI photosuite. Then voila, here we are.
