TITLE: Big and small NAME: j EMAIL: jhu@sdf.lonestar.org TOPIC: opposites COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: opposit3.jpg TOOLS USED: povray 3.5c, poser, poseray HARDWARE USED: sempron 64 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is an image of the Earth Simulator computer with a scientist holding her PDA. Normally, I don't think people using the supercomputer actually do so within the area that it is physically located. Actually this person became separated from her tour group and is now consulting her PDA. But then who really knows what women are thinking or doing anyway? (I'm sure my GF will slap me silly for saying that). Anyway, the world of computers is a good example of nearly polar opposites: huge supercomputers that fill up an entire room vs. small embedded computers that fit in the palm of your hand. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Boxes and more boxes, and maybe a cylinder or two. You know I'm still quite amazed by the scripting capabilities of the povray SDL.
