TITLE: Playground for a Cockroach COUNTRY: USA RENDERER USED: Pov-Ray 3.0 TOOLS USED: S-Patch RENDER TIME: 2 hours, 22 minutes, and 6 seconds IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Welcome to a world filled with imagination. A fictitional place where even roaches have a place to play. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: All the objects in this scene were created using constructive solid geometry except the wings on the roaches. I used s-patch for them. The real trick in getting this scene to look right was adding everything that is not directly seen in the picture. Sure you see the dominos, the watch, coins and all. But what adds to the warmth of the picture is the rest of the room. Because the watch and the spheres are reflective I needed to create a room for them to reflect. This required creating several pieces of furniture, a fireplace, windows, doors, even the light fixture on the ceiling. The walls are made of boxes with an image map wall paper added to each. Then I added the doors and the windows, arranged the furniture, and added lights where they would normally be. (i.e. the fireplace, the windows, etc.) The end result brought more realism to the picture.
