IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

  You all know what's the school food like, right? Would you like to eat
this lunch? :)
  The idea for this image is not mine. Thanx to my friend 'Altair' for the
idea.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

  I used mainly moray to create this image. Just to test what can I do with
it.
  The "thing" on the dish is a bicubic patch, as well as the napkin. That was
really easy to do with moray.
  However, moray is still a little too limited. There's no inverse keyword
at all. I had to do several "useless" CSG-objects because of that. The
napkin's bumpmap is also made by hand, because it's not possible to use
textures as normal modifiers in moray (I used brick texture as normal
modifier, and the fact is not only that it's not possible to use a texture
as bump map, but there's no brick texture in moray at all).
  In spite of this, moray is a great tool. It would have been impossible
to do the bicubic patches by hand. Some of the textures would also have been
really complicated to do by hand.
  The other objects in the scene are all quite simple, I think no comments
are required about them :)

  Btw, I commented in the description file of my other image (class.jpg)
that povray's radiosity engine is poor. Well, I was wrong. I tested with
the values and got really nice results. You can check them at:

  I tried to put radiosity in this image, but didn't find the correct
values... :(
