IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


A cell in a zero-g environment.  The lock is on the far wall with the red light.
 The key is a menger fractal, with random openings and closings, making it
impossible to duplicate.  The chain is broken after a fit of rage.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This is my second scene using Poser.  I wanted to add a barcode tattoo on the
guys arm, but haven't figured out UV mapping yet.  The chain is a simple macro
using some sin and cos functions.  The nearest chain bit, isn't really
connected to the rest.

I rendered the image on 2 differenct computers which decreased the render time
to only 3 real days.  Then I joined the parts in Photoshop.

Why 6 days?  Media plus area light.  I like the effect.

I like this scene much better run through a post-processing filter.  I included
what I consider to be the final image in the zip file just for reference.
