IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This is a old TV. TV from beginning of the second half
of XX century. I think, that televion one of the most wonderful inventions
of the humankind, but at same time it is the greatest evil, because people
waste all their time in front it! May be need to create a monument of TV?


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This image was created (all parts, except glass) with KPovModeller.

Oh, I am forgot! I must give notice, that TV in this scene is not copy
of any REAL TV, so, I don't violate any design copyrights.
Be calmness folk!  :)

So, how this image was created? OK, there is some explanation.
All objects are simple CSG except paper which is nurbs patch.
Television tube has some thickness because external surface has trasparency
value. In the final image was added some media for light scattering.
Heh, wallpaper on the wall, is image - photo of the real wallpaper.
Grid at front panel of TV modelled with script, written inline in
KPovModeller.

Sources of KPovModeller project and all textures you can find in
supplied zip archive.

That all folk! Enjoy, be happy!
