TITLE:Thunderbird COUNTRY:Germany WEBPAGE:www.hologence.de RENDERER USED:POVRay 3.5 TOOLS USED:none RENDER TIME:1.5 min HARDWARE USED:Notebook Pentium 4 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A Thunderbird never really built by Ford; a solitary toy on the edge of emptiness where holiday mood meets boredom, waiting for a lonely driver. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Much trial and error and some 3D imagination. Superellipsoids are good for cars: simple and smooth. The stone quay is made of many slightly shifted superellipsoids, the sea is just a plane with a turbulent agate color map.
