EMAIL: hmc@webaccess.net NAME: Heather TOPIC: Horror COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Inner Trail COUNTRY: USA WEBPAGE: http://www.webaccess.net/~sargon/html/hmc/hmc.html RENDERER USED: PoV-Ray TOOLS USED: sPatch, PoVSB, Paint Shop Pro, sks, Microsoft Word RENDER TIME: 22m 57s HARDWARE USED: 200 MHz Pentium II, 48 mg RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This image was inspired by recent events in my life. After I committed a crime and went to court, I realized that what the court does is final, but what I am doing to myself is not and never will be. I am trying myself, there is no final "case closed," ever. The horror is judging yourself, especially after you know you have done something that is not right. Will I be able to live with myself? Will my life ever be the same? This is the horror that comes before, during, and after the actual trial. This image may not inspire feelings of terror in everyone, but I have a hard time looking at it, mostly because, it is so familiar, and it reminds me of what I did. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Trial and error. (No pun intended) I used sPatch to create everything, then PoV-Ray to put it together. I managed to get the reflection to work properly only by placing my objects and height-field, then adjusting randomly until they came into focus.
