"Don't Fuck With the Micrometeoroid"
by uncle-x/mfx
A raytraced picture for mekka/symposium 2002 freestyle graphics compo
Tools used:
* Povray 3.5 beta release 13 (for rendering)
* Paint Shop Pro 5.0 (for some textures & signing)
* Liquid Spray include file (for the blood particles)
* Poser 4 (for the astronaut figure)
Some statistics:
The final version of this picture took 2 days, 4 hours, 50 minutes and 22 seconds
to render on a 200MHz mmx pentium with 128MB of memory.
The pic is highly unfinished but i ran out of time (again).
For those who absolutely must know: the planets are Pluto (farther) and
Charon (nearer). I got the inspiration for the spaceship design from some
old conceptual art made for NASA in the 70's. The bloody astronaut is
there to gather atleast 3 more votes (bringing the total to 4) and make
my computer scream in agony.
Pictures in the archive:
unsigned.png - unsigned version of the final picture
signed.png - signed version of the final picture
workstage_04.jpg - an older version of the picture.
The background is too light and there isn't enough blood:)
workstage_03.jpg - The astronaut still looks very lame
workstage_02.jpg - too dark and no blood
workstage_01.jpg - multiple orthographic views of an earlier version of the ship
workstage_00.jpg - very early version of the pic. bad colors and all.
