IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

I spent a long time thinking about glass and how it is used on a daily
basis. Then I came up with the idea, Party is Over.  The room design
is similar to the one that my friend had his wedding reception in. 
While creating the design I thought of having people standing around
the punch bowl, but that would subtract from the surrounding stained
glass windows and punch bowl.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

The image was first sketched out on paper very roughly.  Then I started
the computer and created several different designs for the center piece
punch bowl using Autocad LT until I settled on the one used. All the
cups table and window designs were created in Autocad LT them converted
to POVRAY source using DXF2POV a great utility.  All the textures
outside of the staind glass were altered existing POVRAY textures. The
Stained Glass textures were created in a paint program and them saved
at thirty five percent opaque which gives them a see though value. Oh
yeah the paint program is Photofinish. Several re-renders to get things
right along with hours and hours of creation time.
