this is one of two front covers I had the pleasure of designing
this year. For those of you who do not know the dutch system,
for our PhD we write a thesis that is published as a book by
a proffesional printer. We also make more then a few copies
to send to freins, relatives but mainly of course to people
working in our field of science. This one was, I think, about
600 copies.

As you may guess from the objects on the cover, this was a 
thesis in the cardiology department, and he likes to climb
mountains. Inside the crystal heart is a 'basket catheter';
an object we used in this research. It consists of 8 splines
with 8 electrodes each.

The matterhorn was generated from data provided by the 
swiss federal office of topographic.  

If anyone is interested in one of the objects, just ask.

I wish you all a happy 2002 with many hour to play with povray, 

	Andrel

Very nice!  I really like it.

My brother has just finished his thesis for his honours project at
university (actually he just graduated with first class honours).

The graph->mountain splines look very nice.

You may dare, I tried it but the difference is small.
One of the reasons probably is that the table is rather 
reflective. Most light falling throug the crystal is 
cast into space.

congratulations

Actually I did not use splines. The data is taken from one of the
figures inside the thesis. The paper is actually a bitmap.
To get a smooth transition to the lines upto the mountain these
lines are bitmaps too, with a transparent background.
these lines come together in a knot (actually a ball with a bitmap)
two reasons for that: I did not know how to get a smooth 
transistion to the cable and second my positioning of the bitmaps
with respect to the mountain was not so critical  ;)
The cable itself is a set of standard tubes with an image_map
pigment. I used shades of red stripes and one blue to get the
impression of a twisted cable (which is difficult to see at the 
posted resoluton but looks good in the actual book)
So I took some shortcuts, but at the resolution of the book it
all worked.
