TITLE: Fallopian Splendor NAME: Joseph Bumstead COUNTRY: US EMAIL: woodhead@mtrose.net WEBPAGE: timesdancing.com TOPIC: Surrealism COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: barbulb4.jpg RENDERER USED: povray 3.5 TOOLS USED: Adobe Photoshop for post-render contrast enhancement RENDER TIME: 20 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium 333 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The initial idea was to depict underwater dome living spaces. A test render inspired the title, and the title inspired further model development. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The viewpoint is in a spherical chamber connected to an identical chamber with a tube (section of torus). The sphere-tube intersections are filleted with toriod fragments, then a subtracted plane makes the flat floor. These connected chambers are subtracted from a huge cylinder of glass. A sunset sky-sphere provides the illumination and envirionment. A dark plane just under the floor gives contrast and a horizon.
