Well, not this time... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Inspired by an ad in a magazine the idea seemed easy enough for my first IRTC entry. A cubic array for dupliverting the small cube. An area light for soft shadows and some fill lights. Beveling the cubes and a subtle touch of ambient occlusion add to the realism. For this one I focused on composition, colour and lighting.
