IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The ideal desk for a college student.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


All image maps were created with Adobe Photoshop. The Guinness logos were
scanned, the X screen capture was grabbed with XV, and the rest were created
from scratch (except Buzz the Yellowjacket which was downloaded from the
Georgia Tech web-page and modified with Photoshop). Also, the pinned-up photo
image was originally nude, but I felt that submitting it as it were would be
kind of tasteless and definitely show a lack of class; so I clothed the young
woman using Photoshop (BTW- the young lady is Suzi Simpson - a Playmate and in
my opinion the most beautiful women I've ever seen).
All object were created by yours truly by hand using a text editor creating
POV-Ray include files except the computer monitor and keyboard (which I
modelled with Imagine 3.0 for DOS, saved as DXF, and then converted to POV-Ray
with conversion utilities...). The keg was originally modelled for the IRTC
last summer but that entry was not very good as I never finished it (I
submitted
an image of the incomplete scene due to time constraints). The Guinness tap and
pint glass, the desk, the text books, the metal chair, and the pinned-up photo
I modelled specifically for this entry. The computer monitor and keyboard I
created a while ago for a 3-D Studio animation I was working on (and I also
used
it in an entry to the original ray-tracing competition in 95).
I got the idea because I must say, it would be the ideal desk (for me
anyways...
except that the Guinness would go bad unless the keg were chilled...). I found
the notion rather amusing and felt it would make a good trace - so here you
have
it...
I am hoping to submit another image under this topic with totally different
subject matter (still an amusing subject in my esteem though). I hope you
enjoy.
