"Plastic Twirl Of Reality"
by DaMage/NervecliniC

Picture file name: PTOR.GIF
Resolution: 640x480
Colors: 256
Created with POVRay 2.0

Note: This picture contains a plane with a torus embedded in it halfway
through, and a red orb floating above the torus. BEHIND the torus is a light
source with a shape of a cone. I made some tricks with reflections, textures
and such (normals - so surface bumps, waves, ripples etc.) - this is the
result. Oh yeah, and the camera is between the torus and the light source.

This IS ray-trace. This is not reality. Reality can be captured by means of
photography. Things buried deep in minds can be brought to life with the
help of ray-tracers. This is high-tech impressionism and surrealism.

Oh yeah..POVray doesn't have a gfx interface. Its syntax is horrible sum-
times & gives me da creepz. U have 2 B REALLY!!! perverse 2 cope with it.
Hm... I like coping with freaky stuff. >:->
