EMAIL: jyrivirta@jippii.fi NAME: Jyri Virta TOPIC: Surrealism COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: One COUNTRY: Finland RENDERER USED: Povray 3.5 TOOLS USED: Blender 2.25, PovAnim RENDER TIME: 5+ min HARDWARE USED: Pentium @ 200 with 128 RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A little tribute to The Matrix. It's surreal to think that the world we live in is nothing but a fraud and it is also surreal to think about people dodging bullets. It is even more surreal to think that simple numbers could act wisely. So, that is why I think this picture of One dodging bullets with a Matrix-like background(I am not pleased with it) is suitable for this round. Of course it does not follow any of the legends of surrealism, but the picture embraces the power imagination and it is also somehow symbolic. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: As it propably figures, nothing that amazing was used in this picture. The One and the bullets with the bullet time effect are simply modelled in Blender then exported to Blender with PovAnim(http://jmsoler.free.fr/util/blenderfile/povanim.htm, one of the best tools I know).Then I added the background letters with some loops in POVRay and that was it.
