EMAIL: CravenAaron@Hotmail.com NAME: Aaron Craven TOPIC: Nature COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Queen of Hearts COUNTRY: USA RENDERER USED: povray 3.02 TOOLS USED: Moray, Paint Shop Pro, Fractint, Color Chooser (written by yours truly) RENDER TIME: 1:19.33 HARDWARE USED: Compaq Presario 7180 Desktop/Pentium 100Mhz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I had a few qualms about this picture: First, I don't care for the color of the water. Second, the hearts seem to push the envelope of the topic. I kept them, though. Besides, who doesn't love Mamma Nature? DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I used several tools to create this image, including Moray, which I used to model the dolphins. They are CSG's of eight bezier patches. The hearts are blobs, and the starfield and moon both use image maps (the starfield was generated in Fractint)
