Description
An approximate render of the Morph Ball Samus Aran uses in the Metroid video game series, modeled after the version in Metroid Prime. It's a lot more complex than I've shown it, but I couldn't figure out how to render the other features.In a convient 4:3 ratio.

Have you ever heard of 'Art of Illusion' its an amazing piece of software which renders models using photon mapping, so these light effects render well. type it into google for a link, you'd be able to make some amazing work. for an example, check out the cloud pic in my gallery

Very very very....... very very good render. It looks like it's from the actual game.

Wow! That's awesome. I need to learn how to use POV-Ray correctly.

Ignore the heathens.
NO BACKGROUND IS NECESSARY. (did I spell that right?)

Wow, thank you.
I used the Persistance of Vision Raytracer (povray.org).
Basically, I write code — such as:
#macro bentslot(rotation)
prism {
linear_sweep
+7,
-7,
4,
< 0, 0>*2, < .4, 0>*2, <.4, -1.25>*2, < 0, -1.25>*2
rotate z*90
translate y*-.4
rotate x*rotation
no_shadow
}
This code defines objects (their size, position), lighting (position, strength), and atmospheric effects.
When the code is compiled by the program, it is exported as an image.
This method – raytracing – is sometimes complicated, but can be powerful.
