IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


  This is my first complete scene after I learned something about how to use
povray, and of course
my first submission to IRTC, a time ago I made scenes using the KPovModeler but
I didn't know
anything about povray itself, so my images were only spheres and boxes with a
simple color
on a checkered plane.
  I know that I need so much knowledge and the competition is perfect for that,
because
due to the competition's topic I began to investigate about media, and future
topics will
obligate me to try new tecniques, therefore I think is good to enter the
competition to
learn, practice and someday make really amazing scenes.




DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


  First I thought about make a cemetery under moonlight with some dark fog,
then an idea came sudenly, to make something funny, a poster announcing a
show of lights and fog like something amazing, but it would be only a light
bulb
and a litle cloud with a comedy show, with this base I began to work, but I
couldn't make
a cloud that I liked (I need a lot of experience), well, at last the image 
changed so much and you've seen the result.

  I made everything what you see in the image (objects and textures), and every
object was created in CSG, there is no secret.
  The poster is a bicubic patch with an image map created in The Gimp.
  For the smoke I used scattering media with a density using the pattern
planar,
there are two medias and each one has a diferent turbulence.
  The whole scene was modeled in KPovModeler 1.1.2.
  Don't doubt about mail me for anything about the image.
     Please I want constructive comments.


                              PD:sorry if my english isn't good
