IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The subject is "Minimalism", and I use POV. What is minimalist in POV?
What could represent the image more minimalist? A sphere on a
reflective floor! Isn't this the thing simplest to make when one
learns? The first picture ? The minimal, with POV ? Well, let us go ...



For the french speaking people..
Le sujet est "minimalism", et j'utilise POV. Qu'est-ce qui est minimaliste en
POV ? Qu'est-ce qui pourrait representer l'image la plus minimaliste ? Une
sphere sur un sol reflechissant ! N'est-ce pas la premiere chose que l'on
apprend _ faire ? Eh bien, allons-y...




DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The sphere is a isosurface, the ground has a texture resulting from
the file textures.inc. It was just  necessary for me to exploit the
luminous reflexions to obtain the aspect which I wished.


For the french speaking people..
La sphere est une isosurface, ce qui explique le temps de rendu, et le sol est
une texture issue du fichier textures.inc, il m'a juste fallu jouer sur les
reflexions lumineuses pour obtenir l'aspect que je souhaitais.
