IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Chinese people has the ability of interact respectfully with Nature since its
inception as a civilization. Their concept of balance is remarkable because it
has endured -and surpassed- many obstacles. It's obviously other way of
thinking, a different hierarchy of thoughts, or another concept of life.
Architectural forms will integrate a philosophical representation of energy
through colors and assigned shapes -different from the west. In this image, two
bridges over the waters, flowing. Two houses and an interior and open
environment. Lamps and objects, open to the elements. The image is a
composition using many visual resources, all of them from photos and text
available on the internet. 
 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Almost everything is an object. The scene is reduced to a small portion of a
terrain -an object- textured and scaled to fit the point of view. 
There is a water plane -barely visible- and architectural stuff. Few textures
with image_maps created with PSP7.04, the rest are procedural. 
Trees are from Tomtree.inc, foliage was made in PlantStudio, and everything else
was modeled in hamapatch.

The POV-Ray Help section was especially useful, regarding the use of radiosity.
NOTE: The source file does *not* include: terrain, wing and front bridge,
because of their size= 9.5 Megs

DESCRIPCION DE LA IMAGEN: 
El pueblo Chino tiene la habilidad de inractuar respetuosamente con la
Naturaleza desde su aparici_n como civilizaci_n. Su concepto de equilibrio es
notable porque ha experimentado -y sobrepasado- muchos obst_culos. Es
obviamente, otra manera de pensar, una jerarqu_a diferente en el pensamiento, u
otro concepto de la vida. Las formas arquitect_nicas integrar_n una
representaci_n filos_fica de la energ_a a trav_s del uso del color y ciertas
formas -diferente de Occidente. En esta imagen, dos puentes sobre las aguas que
corren. Dos casas, un ambiente interior y otro abierto. Las l_mparas y objetos,
ante los elementos. La imagen es una composici_n que usa muchos recursos
visuales, todos ellos provenientes de fotos y textos, disponibles en internet.
 
DESCRIPCION DE COMO SE CREO LA IMAGEN: 

Casi todo es un objeto, es decir, ha sido modelado. La escena est_ reducida a
una peque_a _rea de la superficie -otro objeto-, texturizado y escalado para
encajar en el punto de vista escogido. 
Hay un plano con agua -escasamente visible- y cosas arquitect_nicas. Pocas
texturas a base de im_genes -creadas con PSP7.0, las dem_s por procedimiento.
Los _rboles -uno en realidad- proviene de Tomtree.inc, el follaje est_ hecho en
PlantStudio y todo lo dem_s est_ modelado en hamapatch.

La secci_n de Ayuda de POV-Ray fue especialmente _til, sobre todo en las
variables de "Radiosity". 
NOTA: El archivo fuente NO incluye ni el terreno, ni el ala(arquitectura), ni el
puente del primer plano;  a causa de su tama_o= 9.5 megas.
