EMAIL: mrnohr@yahoo.com NAME: Matthew Nohr TOPIC: Catastrophe COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Catastrophic Keyboard COUNTRY: USA WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: Art Of Illusion v2.0 TOOLS USED: Art Of Illusion v2.0 RENDER TIME: HARDWARE USED: 1.7 GHz AMD Athlon, 768 MB RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: To go along with the topic description, "When things go terribly, terribly wrong," I wondered how things could go terribly wrong with everyday objects in my world. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Using AOI, this was not hard - just time consuming. I modeled the keyboard first after my own keyboard, and then used the Text script within AOI to put the labels on all the keys. To make sure I made the order of keys really random, I created a simple program that rearranged the letters in a random order for me. The textures are all pretty simple. The keys have a noise pattern applied so they look a little dirty since my keyboards always seem to get dirty after I use them for awhile.
