IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
In an old haunted castle, a small phantom with red eyes had invited three friends to share his meal. It had put its best crockery, its finest tablecloth, even if it is perforated a little! But his friends did not want to remain, and saved all through the walls, as any phantom can do it. He is alone; it cries the absence of his friends, and even the cat turns the back to him. 



For the french speaking people..
Dans un vieux château hanté, un petit fantôme aux yeux rouges avait invité trois amis à partager son repas. Il avait sorti sa belle vaisselle, sa nappe la plus fine, même si elle est un peu trouée ! Mais ses amis n'ont pas voulu rester, et se sont tous sauvés à travers les murs, comme tout fantôme sait le faire. Le voilà tout seul ; il pleure l'absence de ses amis, et même le chat lui tourne le dos.




DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
This image corresponds to my first tests of the functionalities of Megapov: clothray (for the phantom and the tablecloth), motion blur (for the phantoms which flees) and fur (for the cat), that I tried to learn and apply. The remainder is only simple CSG. A lot of thanks to Matthieu (Pepeto), author of macro who manufactures the stained glass of the bottom.

Cette image correspond à mes premiers essais des fonctionnalités de Megapov : clothray (pour le fantôme et la nappe), motion blur (pour les fantômes qui s'enfuient) et fur (pour le chat), que j'ai essayé d'apprendre et d'appliquer. Le reste n'est que simple CSG. Un grand merci à Matthieu (Pepeto), auteur de la macro qui fabrique le vitrail du fond.
