Islands

This artwork is named: Islands. I created it in August of 2004. The image was made using POV-Ray.

The AirCastle experiment (not published here) and the obligatory "Reflective Sphere on a Checkered Plane" scene inspired me to make a 'checkered plane' of trees on clouds. Because the original idea of many such islands proved to be an impossible strain on available memory and CPU power, I reduced the scene to what it is now. The clouds are based on a macro by Gilles Tran. The tree was made using the TomTree macro v1.5 by Tom Aust and Gena Obukhov.
