JPGFILE: pto04.jpg ZIPFILE: pto04.zip RENDERER USED: Povray 3.1 RENDER TIME: 67 hours 7 min 13 seconds HARDWARE USED: Pentium II 350 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I got idea for this pic while reading news from Sydney. What else Olympic games are but contest of different laboratory products? This pic shows true winners of Olympic games, five bottles filled with some weird stuff, standing on golden thrones. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I was first making picture that would be called "Blobaratory". It would have been entirely composed of different blobs. Then things at University started to take more time and I threw all but three blobs away. So glass is blob, water is blob and throne is blob. This is not best use for blobs - I think. I was hard to get water and glass close enough but prevent intersection. Other objects are just boxes with some normal maps. Oh, I allmost forgot. I used allso faked caustics of POV 3.1 =). I cant wait to get my hands on 3.5. Thank You All Tuomas
