Well I like it, James. I'm looking forward to subsequent versions. Are you going
to keep the black & white retro look?
Has anyone ever built one of these in RL?

"It is said by Sassoon and Dale that a nuclear reactor used to power the manna
machine was stored in the Ark of the Covenant."
It sounds dangerous to be playing with radiactive materials... like piling them
up to get a larger reaction. It was said that Moses' face was tanned (highly
bronzed) after speaking to God... I hope that thing was made out of a very dense
metal, like lead, or gold....

not that I know of ... supposedly that's what the Jews used to produce
food for the journey across the desert. legend of course as far as I'm
concerned.

the recovered device has been moved to the lab and cleaned up ... still

About 20 to 30 years ago, it seems that some students started to build a
scaled down reproduction of the Ark by following the description from
the bible.
BEFORE it was finished, they where forced to stop. It apparently
accumulated/generated some rather dangerous electric potential.

This would look great with steam-punk textures :)

apparently there isn't one ... just pulled (only a little) one of the
control rods on the reactor.

Wooow!
could you just top the exit of the smoke/steam with some
recorder/whistle: not for the sound, but to justify the visual split in
3 of the stream (which is just perfect). So far it's look like an open
pipe, and there is no reason for such steam out of an open pipe.
Next slow down: area light to soften the shadow on the grey wall. :-)

Steam is just a 1st stab at something at something coming out the
exhaust pipe ... according to the description it could be either steam
or a flame. Leaning towards steam, but hey that could change.
> Next slow down: area light to soften the shadow on the grey wall. :-)
made a 1st pass try with area lighting but the scattering media in steam
slowed it waaaaay down. thinking about a slightly reflective backdrop to
try to get a view of the back of the machine.

actually I used irid ... played around with wave length in globals, then
thickness in the finish side. i /really/ like irid on metal finishes

after running for a couple of days, everything green turned blue, then
the exhaust changed to a more dense fog-like substance that sank to the
floor

Thanks ... I like this set up too, but I think I can do better with the
ground fog. Scattering media /should/ yield better results over fog ...
it's just tedious getting it right.

I like it, except the exhaust which somehow does not seem right to my
eyes. A somewhat stronger scattering media would do the trick I presume.

hey thanks ... i'm having fun going over some older scenes and
uber-izing them! well also applying some new techniques i've learned
along the way ... lol i /have/ to break out of this "metal" tendency
that i've had lately ;-)

A very nice image, I like the focus on a specific colour (one of my
votes for the next tc-rtc is actually for the colour theme (cannot
remember if it was blue or green though) and of course the shiny metal
texture us great.

thanks ... i went through more than several color combinations before
arriving at my "study of blue"
also like the juxtaposition of ancient technology in a sci-fi setting
