TITLE: Night Sky COUNTRY: Canada WEBPAGE: http://www.scar.utoronto.ca/~93johnst RENDERER USED: Povray for Windows 3.02 TOOLS USED: Photopaint for JPEG conversion RENDER TIME: unknown (over 24 hrs) HARDWARE USED: Pentium 166 with 32M RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A beautiful night sky brings out the best in this lake shore scenery. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Nothing special. Heightfields made the background mountains. The water is just a rippled plane. The "palm trees" are actually just the leaves. There are no actual trunks. I didn't see the point, since you wouldn't be able to see any of them. The moon is a combination of a textures sphere and a halo. The stars are just randonly placed sphere far away in the sky.
