RENDERER USED: Povray 3.1 TOOLS USED: Povray 3.1, Fractint, CTDS300, Worm, Photoshop 5 RENDER TIME: 2 days 19 hrs HARDWARE USED: AMD 233, 128mb ram, S3 vga IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A peaceful scene, based on classical architecture and thoroughly out of this world DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The main part of the image - floor, plinth, columns, arches and external wall were programmed directly in Povray. The greek letters were drawn in Worm, keeping the sphere count down for roughness and output to Povray through CTDS300. The floor textures originated in Povray and were modified in Photoshop before being mapped. The columns, arches, rear wall and greek letters use Povray's procedural textures. The sky is a bitmap, mapped to a thin rectangle. The middle background uses a plasma map from Fractint, imported as a heightfield. The final image was rendered at 5k for output to a film recorder
