IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This is an image of a  public bath house like those you might have found in
ancient Rome. 
Large and communal it was not only a place to get clean, it was a social
gathering place. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The steps, walls, door ways and floor are all primitive boxes.

The dolphins, curtains torches, and dome are meshes I found via the internet,
sorry I can't 
remember from whom or where, but I than you anyway. I used Crossroads, 3dWin
Converter 
and/or 3ds2pov converter to convert them into pov.

Using John VanSickle's AxisRotate to copy/rotate everything around to make it
octagonal I then 
added the ladies. 

Using Lady.inc that I obtained from Yasunari Iwanaga (Japan) , off the PovRay
site, to create 
the ladies. I added a set of hair, also a mesh, and other minor modifications to
the body. 

Then added lights to the torches and as sunlight above. 

You can only see its shadow, but there is a dome made of wood and glass above
the main 
central pool.  

Upon rendering this, it would have taken several days, as there were 49 light 
sources at then time, so I limited the number of angles around the octagon to
those that you 
can see.
