TITLE: Space COUNTRY: United States of America WEBPAGE: http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/raytrace/430/index.htm RENDERER USED: Pov-Ray 3.0 TOOLS USED: LView Pro RENDER TIME: 4 minutes 15 seconds HARDWARE USED: Pentium 233 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The Lord hangs the earth upon nothing. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I used Chris Colifax's Galaxy include for the background. It's a great thing! Then I used a photo of the sun's surface that I edited in LView Pro as an image map for the sun. I made the earth and the moon from several spheres with different textures. I still haven't really got the hang of it. If you wonder why I put clouds on the moon, let me explain. I don't know.
