HARDWARE USED: Pentium 133 - 16M RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A magician, who was a "little" jealous, thought that every time he do a magic show, he might put a spell in his castle, where lives is wife, staying there until he finished his work. Each an every day, he put this spell to make sure that no one could get into his wonderful house and, at a glance, cross the look of the beautiful magic loving eyes, of is sparkling blondy wife. But one day ... :-) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This was an inspiration I had when the fabulous illusionist David Copperfield came to our town last year; he went at "Le Chateau Frontenac's hotel", with his girlfriend, the sparkling Claudia Schiffer. I was wondering if Claudia will stay at the hotel or will assist to another show of his lover... However, I use the most common primitives in my .INI file, which is obviously and exclusively loaded of boxes, cones and supperellipsoids. No tricks in there, except the magic of Povray's 3D raytracing.
