In some parts in the company I am working for, we are starting to use 
SAP R/3 with 4.62 (?) GUI.
I found the splash animation quite boring and I thought I can do an 
appropriate animation for our company.
Let me explain in short: Our company produces design bath tubs, shower 
trays, whirlpools and so on. (go to www.hoesch.de, english pages available)
So I used the tiles (associated with bathroom), water effect (not as 
good as I intended), bubbles (the whirlpools) and the dominating color 
blue which is a sign of water and our company's color too.

The scene uses photons and radiosity als well as Chris Colefax' 
lensflare include and clock macro. Rendering the 60 frames took 88.5 hrs 
on a PIII 1Gig with MegaPOV 0.7 on WinNT (renderings on daytime in the 
background).
After having converted the frames into a single animation it looks too 
bright and I don't really like the water effect and the almost invisible 
water surface. I tried scattering media in the water but it didn't work 
the way I expected it.
It is not likely that I'll render it again with other settings.

So far...

Karl
