JPGFILE: meeting.jpg RENDERER USED: MacMegaPOV 1.0 TOOLS USED: MacMegaPOV 1.0, poser3, photoshop RENDER TIME: 2 h HARDWARE USED: MAC G4 450 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: "...beau comme la rencontre fortuite sur une table de dissection d'une machine _ coudre et d'un parapluie " LAUTR_AMONT 1846-1870 (Les chants de Maldoror) "as beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting-table of a sewing-machine and an umbrella" Andr_ Breton and the surealists adopted this Lautr_amont's sentence as an example of the shocking, incongruous beauty that the "out of place" can reveal. The topic of this round gave me an opportunity to create this image, as a tribute to the poet and to the surealist artists. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: everything was hand coded directly in POV . Classic CSG (big deal for the umbrella...) The body was created in Poser3 and imported in Pov. Area-lights above the tables and outside, on the right side. Rendering with radiosity on.
