IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I...ADORE....THE PAST, I'm breathing my memories to live, the future will be 
                   colorless,tastelss,odourless, i mean are you aware of what is going around us !!!

anything else :
i enjoyed working in this piece , wish you all good luck  including myself if you don't mind that !

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

and it all went like this :
modelling part :
1- the containers : sphere - edit mesh using soft selection to give it the shape of an egg.
2- the room is constructed using boxes for walls and ground.

laser part : free direct light with a volume light function applied to it + lens flares .

smoke : cylenderical atmospheric apparatus for the horizontal white smoke.
        spherical atmos. app. for the vertical white smoke.
        spherical atmos. app. for the blue smoke surrounding the laser beam. 
light  : one omni source of light placed between the laser guns for the whole scene fading to blue  using far attenuation.

maping part : and this almost drived me nuts , the technique was simply ( mesh select and then applying material. id to the selected mesh)
and i took screan shots while i was working using the print screan button on the keyboard ( don't laugh at me for telling
you this , there is always one who doesn't know ), used it in photoshop to map the electronic screen .

    i wish it was easy as simple as that , but the most of the time was consumed in matching all of this together.
    .... hope you like it .
