Hi!
I've finally created an image I actually like. I've never been into these
complex scenes, but like mine mathematically oriented. (Yeah, I know. Bad
excuse.) But anyway. This image is called "Sur la pesanteur et d'autres
forces étranges" and AFAIK it's translated into "On gravity and other
strange forces". I really want this line in French, so if anyone has
corrections to my bad french, (babelfish.altavista.com, y'know..) please
give them to me!
Mage with MegaPov. (Text added in Photoshop). It consists of about 300
isosurface objects (boxes with marble pigment distortion) and is supposed to
look like some kind of cluster of oddly shaped/coloured rocks acting upon
each other with ... gravitational forces. ... (There are actually 600 isos
in the scene, but not all show up, as you might guess.) The background is a
sphere-shell filled with emitting media.
Comments/suggestions welcomed. I'm trying to be artistic here, but I don't
know if I'm successful... ;-)
Regards,
Simen Kvaal.

Remove the d' and you'll be fine. What you wrote is "On gravity and
SOME other strange forces". Although, "pesanteur" is a correct word, it
only applies in terms of the effect gravity has on object on a planet,
e.g. an astronaut on the Moon is 6 times "moins pesant" than on Earth.
If I'm not mistaken, the physical attraction between bodies is called
"force de gravité", or "lust" ;)

Okay. So if it says "sur la pesanteur et autres forces étranges", it's
correct, although the meaning _might_ not be what I intended, because
"pesanteur" refers to be under the influence of gravity, while "force de
gravité" simply means "gravity" as in F = GMm/r^2 ?
I'll change the caption; thank you.
Simen.

Thanks! :)
Actually, I might have been inspired by tour cubes, although searching this
ng and looking at your website, I cannot find any! I remember someone
posting very nice images based on the cube-shape some time ago; and _that_
really inspired me! (Generally, I think I subconsciously attempt to
duplicate those efforts, so if this image resembles something else posted, I
wouldn't be too surprised.)
I'm very into the geometric look, if you know what I mean. I think it's
because I'm lousy at modelling realistic objects ... (I naver gave it a
serious go, though.)

AHA!
And now I see what image you were referring to; the randomly packed cubes
thing. Well, I hadn't seen that yet, so it's quite a coincidence! :O Anyway,
I don't hav ethe skills to actually test wether the cubes are intersecting;
mine is simply randomly displaced with no regard whatsoever to
intersections. :)
Simen.

IMHO, "Pesanteur" is an almost perfect synonym of "gravité". And you can
also use "force de gravité" or "force de pesanteur".
What is bothering me is the "Sur". I first thought you were going for the
"old book title" style "Of gravity and...", for which I suggest "De la
gravité et autres forces étranges", which is more correct and classic. The
"on" is bothering me : I am not sure of the exact sense the "On" has in the
English sentence. While the French "sur" has a meaning of "this is a book
about"/"c'est un livre sur", it isn't (and wasn't) usually used in the "Of
gravity..." way. "Sur" has also the meaning of "on" in the "on top of"
sense. So, it is correct if what you mean is "On (top of) gravity and some
other strange
forces". If the "on" is meant to mean "under the influence of", I found no
elegant accurate translation.
Povingly

I think you're right! I meant "of" like in classic titles, like the ones
written by David Hume & co. So, I'll change the title to "De la gravité et
autres forces étranges"; it seems the most correct considering the feedback
I've got from you and mr. Labreque.
Thanks!
Simen.
