...surfer.

ahem,  just kidding 'cause it seems that everybody was talking about
blurred metallic reflection lately. It is just my first experiment to fake
something_that_looks_a_little_like_motion_blur.
It does not look as I have expected and maybe I should have tried
something simple (like a sphere over checkered plane?) first.
But it's a long time since I was waiting for a chance to create an image
with the Silver Surfer.

Notes:
The stars are 100000 random placed and colored spheres.
Saturn is made with an image map and scattering media.
The ring system are some disks textured as described here:

The Silver Surfer is a poser model from the 3D Comic Collective.
*blurring* was done by using multiple copies of the object with transmit
set to 0.98 and still with some specular highlight.

I think this faked motion blur could be improved and made much better
looking - but yesterday I started to play Morrowind so I guess you can
forget me for the next four weeks.

so long
