In the middle of the image on the far right, there is a picture of a HEAD
with big tall mouse ears, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, chin.
I thought it was pretty neat to have that type of visual co-incidence. The
image is not a texture map, but rather a random
chance occurence of reflections in the image.

There's a bat on the left too.  They're out to get you.

Daniel,

submit it to the irtc - I'd award at least 17 points for originality ;-)

I like it, really.

I wonder how the texture-like reflection patterns evolve.

I'm interested in your scene ... are the 16 spheres textured or just
solid colors?  Reflective for sure and ... what are the two large
objects and their textures?
  I'm not familiar with moray so not sure of your light and camera
positions.

  I likes it.

You've been Ray-Tracing too long.

The spheres are flat-(no bump mapping), and  no textures, just a sphere with
a slight tint to them and the reflectivity turned all the way up.


The outer spheres are totally black mirrors so the dont add any "color" to
the scene, they merely reflect.

Where the 2 large spheres intersect,  they form a sort of dome within the
sphere from the cameras perspective
which adds some nice swirls to the picture.

At mid left, a blue headed alien in a space suit. Above the green
sphere.

This reminds of the glass torus I made once:
http://iki.fi/warp/pics/testbig.jpg

  There are at least one human face, two troll faces, a bird head and a
fish in the image. Of course none of them are intentional but caused by
pure coincidence.
  (The human face and one of the troll faces are so clear and vivid that
it's almost scary.)

Human face looks quite nice :)
BTW where's the troll?

Who'll be the first to make a sig with this method?  ;D

    Weird - Like Nekar, I couldn't see it, but, now that you've pointed it
out, it's so clear I wonder how I missed it in the first place...

    Now, where's the human face ?

    BTW, can anyone else see the Grey lurking at the back ?

This is the only one I found my self: but it is so clear! I can't
believe it is a coincidence of reflections: it has perfectly draw eyes
and mouth, and even has a bored-mystical expression. It must be an
"apparition", some erratic spirit trying to manifest trough abstract
raytracing... or so.

Come on, guys! Next you'll be seeing human faces in random rock
structures on the face of Mars, and claim it is proof that that there
once lived an ancient culture.

(What do you mean, somebody already did that? Nobody could be that
gullible.)

Finding patterns and meaning in chaos and imposing order on it ?
Nothing new in that ... we do it every day ... and call it Reality ;)

    And you consider that 'human' ? I think I know why they call you Warp,
now... ;-)
