A portable battery operated Van De Tesla generator.  Also, quite a CPU 
cycle abyss.

Nicely done, I love the spark and the texture on the floor.  Heightfield or
isosurface?

Uh.. Isosurface... that's like, uh... Math, isn't it?  Sorry.. no 
Isosurfaces here, mate.

Not much if its just a function like y for a plane + a pigment pattern.  :)

I'd be interested to know what you mean?  Can you give an example please.

p.s. if its in the shape of a deagle i wont believe its an isosurface.

Physically not convincing. There are shorter paths from one metal
side to the other than the two sphere. The spark would be somewhere
else.

Otherwise a nice image.

BTW. what is a Van De Tesla generator? More precisely, there are
a number of machines that generate high voltages. This one does
not exist as fas as I know, but of course you are free to invent
your own here.

Must be something like a van der Graaf generator with
Tesla coils.

Yup.  I was looking for something to reflect off the chrome, and I 
thought that would be nice.  Chrome without reflection is pretty un-chromey.

Apparently you're not familiar with the precise workings of a Van De 
Tesla generation system ;-)

Thanks.

Invention of the nonsensical is what attracted me to rendering in the 
first place.  For reality I suppose I could buy a digital camera.
