IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


 This image presents three asia-related thematics : traditional Japanese 
 architecture, shadow theather, and... kama-sutra !


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


 For those who care, this is my first IRTC entry since "worship".  This was
 done in one day, starting on 31 december, just one day before the deadline :-)

 Most everything you see is straight CSG.

 Carpets are isosurfaces (mesh function).

 The plant in the pot is lazily made with Gille's MakeTree macro.  Pot made
 with Spilin Editor.

 Wood textures are done with an hybrid technique, using procedural texture
 with a color_map sampled from a real wood image.

 There are 3 area_lights for the whole scene.

 The paper panel translucency effect is obtained with a scattering/emitting
 media inside a thin container box.  The couple behind the curtain is a
 simple grayscale image_map, redrawn from some porn picture found on the
 net (and, you know, those are *very* difficult to find :-).

 Note about the source : I'm too tired right now to submit a clean source
 of the scene (which has nothing special, anyway).  However, if you want
 something, e-mail me, I'll be happy to help.
