EMAIL: evilsnack@hotmail.com NAME: John VanSickle TOPIC: Escape COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Rusty's Birthday Surprise WEBPAGE: http://users4.50megs.com/enphilistor/irtc.htm COUNTRY: US of A RENDERER USED: POV-Ray v3.1. and v3.5. TOOLS USED: Text editor, CMPEG, pencils, paper. HARDWARE USED: AMD K6-2/300 w/ 96 Megs of RAM; Athlon XP 2400, 512 Megs of RAM CREATION TIME: About two years. VIEWING RECOMMENDATION: Full color, 24 frames per second. ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: Rusty's birthday is ruined. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: I typed out a bunch of scene code, rendered the frames, and slapped them together with an MPEG compiler, just like I always do. This animation was supposed to be my October 2001 entry, but due to several attacks of Real Life, I didn't finish it until recently. The animation is way off-topic, and was started long before the round officially began, so it's perfectly fair if nobody votes for it. I'm only submitting it because I'd like it to be where interested people can find it. If you have any questions about things, e-mail me directly, or leave comments on the comments page (and be sure to put your e-mail address in the comments; sometimes the bot records the wrong address).
