TITLE: Nanobots NAME: Jean-Charles Marteau COUNTRY: France EMAIL: exether@demo.xandmail.com TOPIC: Future COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: nanobot.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray 3.5 TOOLS USED: Gimp RENDER TIME: 30h HARDWARE USED: P III 600MHz, 256Mo IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I consider that nanotechnologies will make a great change for us in the future. This image shows two CK335 (Cancer Killer type of bots) analysing human organism in search for cancerous cells. You can see the three cranted wheels they use for moving and the round pod at the rear which is the analysis pod. When a anomalous cell is found, the pod retracts and injects a deadly poison into the cell. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The surface is an isosurface made with a superposition of various patterns. The bots and the spire were modeled with Rhino. The whole thing was rendered using a slope pattern turned toward the camera to make it look like an electronic microscope view. I also added some normal to make the various materials appear different.
