TITLE: Hamam COUNTRY: Italy WEBPAGE: http://www.arcetri.astro.it/irlab/staff/staff.php RENDERER USED: Povray 3.6 TOOLS USED: The Gimp (jpg conversion and gamma correction) RENDER TIME: 3h 27m 39s HARDWARE USED: Athlon K7 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The idea comes from the news of a couple weeks ago about the famous Rudas Turkish bath (hamam) in Budapest opening to Hungarian women. In the article a beautiful photo of the bath was displayed, with two light beams shining on the water from the apertures on the roof. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: As usual the whole structure is made using CSG. The holes in the dome are positioned along a spiral curve and above them I placed a white board to give the impression of the sun outside. The light beams are made with a spotlight above the dome (the only light source interacting with the media).
