Because a picture is worth a thousand words. And because that way, I don’t have to write any words at all. Seriously, I like playing with the POV-Ray textures and various parameters each one can contain. For example, the spheres and donut rings have an “iridescence” value, which creates the rainbowy colors. They’re also transparent with a very low refractivity value (as if one was inside water (or maybe even a much denser material), looking into glass spheres containing air). That creates the illusion that there are two spheres (one inside the other) when really there’s only one, which is a rather strange effect. Maybe more like being encased inside diamond (very dense) looking into air. The wall in back is both transparent and reflective.

I don’t think this is a great image in terms of appearance or composition or colors or anything like that, but it was fun to jump back into graphics after not doing that for a while. My old office wants more artwork for their walls, and I’d like to create something worthy of the excellent framing job we had done last time. So here’s a little bit of a warm-up.
