IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

  Friday-morning 5:20, It's late. It isn't the first time you drank too
much. A habbit like that isn't very good for you. I know it's hard, 
losing the one you love the most, and of course your illnes doesn't help
much also. But, by the way you're behaving now you'll loose more than 
just your daughter. You'll loose your friends, your health and eventually
your life. But now it's time.

Time for a change.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
  I once saw the movie 'Bird' which is about the live of Charlie Parker.
There was a scene which was so beautiful I had to use it as an
inspiration. 

I started of with the glass. First I wanted to use a diagonal crossed
carving. So I looked into several textures but couldn't find anything
suitable. So I chose to use the quilted texture. I think it works out
nicely.

Next I made the ashtray (on the irtc-list there was some dicsusion
about giving ashtrays and mugs with the IRTC-logo on it, so there's
my inspiration). It's just some torri with some cylinders and a lot of
CSG. Thanks to Matt (right?) for the image...

The third object I was going to implement was a bottle. Ahh, POV supports
SOR's. Happy me. But, I couldn't get a desent bottle modelled, so I
dropped it for a while. Not so happy me...

The spill is made up of a couple of blobs...

Well, the topic is time so I wanted to include some time-piece. Since a
cuckoo-clock would look strange I decided to include a watch. I hardly
ever use one so finding one to model was almost a more difficult task
than modelling it :)
Luckily I was given a russian watch as a present a long time ago, buried
in the deepest and darkest place of my room. Of course it didn't have
a leather band, so I had to use my imagination for that also.
The watch is just a lot of cylinders CSG'ed together. And yes, I was
able to use the while-feature of POV 3.0. It's used for the knob (a detail
you probably won't see). The texture used for the band is cracks (?).

Finaly, I really wanted a bottle and I found one in the old competition
archives. Gena Obukhov (sp?) made some really nice scenes (and a bottle)..
So why bother creating a new one if I can steal one?
