IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


"Why the Moon does not fall whereas this apple has just fallen on my hat?" said
Isaac Newton. And, leaving his hat on the grass, he went back to his cottage
andthought.. at the laws of gravitation !  The anecdote is certainly false, but
it is pretty and this image was inspired by it.



For the french speaking people..
"Pourquoi la Lune ne tombe pas alors que cette pomme vient juste de tomber sur
mon chapeau ?" S'est dit Isaac Newton. Et, laissant son chapeau sur l'herbe, il
rentra dans son cottage pour reflechir.. aux lois de la gravitation !
L'anecdote est certainement fausse, mais elle est jolie et elle m'a inspire
cette image.




DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This image uses many isosurfaces*: apples, reliefs, the decorative loop of the
hat, as well as macro MakeTree and MakeGrass, of Gilles Tran, and Splinetree by
Andrew Clinton, for all the trees and grass. The remainder is simple CSG, a
little fog (we are in England), and a lot of greenery.

Cette image utilise beaucoup d'isosurfaces : les pommes, les reliefs, la boucle
d_corative du chapeau, ainsi que les macros MakeTree et MakeGrass, de Gille
Trans, et Spline Tree d'Andrew Clinton pour tous les arbres. Le reste est de la
simple CSG, un peu de brouillard (on est en Angleterre), et de la verdure.
