Hi,
Having learnt my lesson last time by not including a readme,
here's one for this one!
OK
This is an 832*624 (Apple 16") StartupScreen file (PICT
resource) intended for 840AV users. It was modelled and
rendered in Infini-D 2.5.1 (an excellent program if you can
live without splines). Infini-D's anti-aliasing is
particularly good.
The scene has two bits of bevelled text, a couple of light
sources and an infinite plane. The main text has a simple
mirror surface, the "welcome to macintosh" bit has a silver
surface. The plane is a preset called "Tokyo Sunset". One of
the bundled environment maps can be seen reflected in the
letters (the black & white blobbiness). That's all there is
to it! It took about 4 hours to render and anti-alias (most
of that will have been the a-a, since it is very slow, but
effective) on my 840.
Just to add a little more interest, there's an easter egg
hidden in the picture...
First to find it gets a render to order! (please not for
21"!!!)
Those with Photoshop may have a slight advantage here...
Happy hunting,

PS Please distribute this freely, but it would be nice if
you kept this document with the picture (or is it the other way
around???)
