RENDER TIME: 5 + 10 + 10 + 50 Min HARDWARE USED: P4 2GHz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Imagine infinity ! How can one grasp this transcendential phenomena in words or as image ? Isn't it misterious, that any natural number has it's successor ? That the TV suddenly appears infinitely many times, when you film the screen that shows the camera view ? Imagine a gallery with infinitely many pictures showing simultaneously your very own visual perception. This is so far beyond my imagination, that I decided to realize this idea with POV-Ray. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: There is not much to tell about special techniques or whatever since I hadn't have much free time to work on this image. I used photon maps and radiosity for some realistic effects and of course I had to render the image a few tims in various resolutions to place it back into the scene as texture.
