RENDERER USED: 
    povray 3.5

TOOLS USED: 
    POVRAY 3.5, Moray 3.3

RENDER TIME: 
    20 min

HARDWARE USED: 
    PIII 500with 128 MB RAM

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The Idea was to imitate an old abacus / sand clock combi to be depicted as taken
using a bw camera
All old stuff right!!


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

It was constructed using Moray 3.3 and rendered using PovRay 3.5

Some setting got screwed up and the renderer started rending in bw...Well that
saves me time of grayscaling ;-)

The scene is simple, Just a Four line Abacus, a sand clock, three candles, all
of them on a table and a room. The candle was the tough part. Use it in a color
screen and you will know why. Everything else was the magic of PovRay and
Moray.

With radiosity the render took a whooping 9hours 35 minutes @ 14 pps on my PIII
800Mhz with 128 MB RAM. Without radiosity it was done in 20 mins and looks much
better too..
