JPGFILE: baw.jpg RENDERER USED: MegaPOV 1.2 TOOLS USED: the "funball.inc" needed the Smiley Faces Font and the SkullCaps Font for this Pic RENDER TIME: 8 minutes 22 seconds HARDWARE USED: Intel P4 2.66GHz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I hope i can explain explain my idea well enough because my english is not too good. First we have to take two things (preferably very simple and general things). For our example we take "good" and "evil". We put one on each side of a borderline and we immediately own our B.A.W (Beginners All-purpose World-View). Build from three basic items we have a scalable and extensible model useable for any intention. It can grow full featured religions. It's able to rise any kind of ideology (political or whatever). Even complete social systems can be built on it. All we have to do is to make some definitions about rules, point of view and such topics. ;-) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Here is not much to say. For the "good" thingy and the "evil" thingy i used two balls made by my new and simple "funball.inc". The include uses TrueType Fonts and CSG to generate funny balls (similar to the older poolball files of Nathan O'Brian). The ground with the borderline is made of three boxes. I added some environment by HDRI (because i like this feature), a little radiosity, antialiasing and focal blur and it was done. The source doesn't contain anything spectacular so i don't provide. If anybody is interested anyway, just ask. Thank You for watching Andreas
