EMAIL: NAME: Brian Naughton TOPIC: Summer COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT RENDERER USED: Povray 3.0 TOOLS USED: Image Map drawn with Paint Shop Pro RENDER TIME: Approximately 30-40 hours (over a period of days!) HARDWARE USED:Cyrix DX2-66 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The light from a distant sun enters the big window and catches the dust particles floating in this room (subtly). Such light only occurs in the Summertime, of course. A sword is buried in the table in front of the table. Embedded in the sword is a magic gem which emits green light, also caught by the atmosphere. The blade of the sword refracts light. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This scene was created entirely with Povray 3 on Dos edit without modellers, paper, rulers, creativity-enhancing drugs or anything like that. The sword was designed a number of months ago. The floor and wall textures are from Mike Miller's stone textures. I apologise for this image not being 800x600 but it would have taken too long to render and I can't leave the computer going constantly.
