IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
A sword set in a stone with waves & fog.  I like the Arthurian legends,
and the sword in the stone appeals to me.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The sword is two cylinders, 3 spheres and 4 triangles.  The cylinders are
gradients from red .1 to red 1, with the horizontal cylinder (the hilt) being
a gradient x and the vertical cylinder (handle) being a gradient y.
The spheres are a dark blue with high filter (.7) and specular added.
The triangles are bright grey, with ambient, reflection & specular .5
The globe I set the sword in is simply black with high reflection and
specular.
The plane is simply blue 1 with the wave normal added.
The clouds were made by using the O_Cloud1 object from the skies.inc,
with the modification of decreasing the translation of the second layer
in order to reduce the blurred effect.
The fog was a constant fog (I experimented with a turbulent fog, but found
that it produced no difference (perhaps a bug in povwin beta?)).
The text ("The Magic is Waiting...") is the TTF Times New Roman with a low
red and high specular values.
