Just a little part of a scene I'm working on. 6.02e+23 points to anyone
who can correctly identify the structure.
It's radiositied using the megapatch. Looks better than the plain image,
but I find the lighting a little bland.. uniformly lit in all unshadowed
areas. This is probably because the source of the radiosity is mostly
the sphere I'm using for the clouds... pretty uniform source.
Opinions?

Industrial? Water tower? Lighthouse?
Good construction modelling, any loops/macros used?

Nice tower. Yea, I agree on the lighting. Guess? Looks like an oil refinery
tower used to heat crude oil and separate out the various chemicals, etc (ie,
kerosene, gasoline, etc..) as the crude gets hotter and rises towards the top.
Don't shoot me if I'm wrong about the process. <grin> Been a long, long time
since I learned about oil refineries. :{)

That would be called a defraction tower. And I think that the process
is as you describe.

I couldn't remember the name, but Mr. Art's idea of "defraction tower"
sounds about right. It is basically a big condensing still capable of
fractional distillation in large quantities. But I think you got it
backwards, as the crude rises(in vapor form) it cools and the lighter
components condense out. Heavy oils and tars at the bottom, and lighter
oils, gasoline, etc toward the top.

Actually, Chris was kind enough to explain how it works and his explanation makes
sense. Thanks for naming it for me though. <smile> It's interesting to see all the
little tidbits of information and trivia we all hold.

Ah! Now that makes sense. <smile> Thanks. It's cool dusting off the cobwebs of
old memories, facts, trivia.
