                                Unreal
 
        This surreal image was created on an Amiga 2000 computer equipped with
a 68030 accelerator and 8 megs of RAM. It was raytraced in 30 mins with the
Amiga program Imagine v2.0 using Steve Worley's Essence textures. The images
include my other raytraces forum, imagine, starland, and museum. Also included
is an Ansel Adams photo of Yosemite in winter, a raytrace done on a Cray for
Apple computer, and one of my original digitized slides of an indian woman
in a South American market. The illusion of a rough ocean was obtained by chance
using a cork bump map and a blue granite brush and global map.The final
640x480x24bit image was converted to Targa format and reduced to a JPEG file
or a 256 color GIF file. In the case of Amiga viewing, it was converted to
HAM interlace overscan for those without a 24bit graphic card (preferred viewing
option).
        Check out my other traces on the Internet: forum, starland.imagine,
 and museum.
