TITLE: Pulgas Temple NAME: Sasha Sapojnikoff EMAIL: dupin@best.com TOPIC: Landmarks COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: RDS 5.0.2 TOOLS USED: Ray Dream, Illustrator, Photoshop HARDWARE USED: Mac 7600/g3-270 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The california landscape is littered with the water temples of the hetch hetchy aquaduct. The Pulgas temple is the terminus. Before the freeway was completed, The road past it was crowded every weekend with travellers to the beach. Now, I doubt most people driving 280 know it exists. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Once again, inspiration strikes too late to complete the image. If one looks closely at the columns, the fluting is geometry, not bump mapped: this took some fiddling with illustrator to get the outlines right. If I had mapped it (since they are nearly invisible at 800x600) i might have had time to put in the mountain in the background, and the surrounding trees. and a decent bump in the reflecting pool, which should be flush with the ground. The texture and bump of the temple was taken from a photograph of the temple itself.
