Artwork created in 1997

• Renderer: POV-Ray
• The eggs and the sand are isosurfaces. The egg equation is simply an ellipsoid (sqrt(x*x +y*y*0.5 +z*z) -5) with some 3D noise added. 3D noise was also added to the sand equation (a much more complex one). 3D noise is much better than "normal" modifications because it really alters the shape and not just simulates the bumps. It slows down the rendering, too... The final egg (simplified version not using the isosurface available here) is the difference between a first egg shape, a second and slightly smaller one (then you got the empty shell), and a star-shaped prism (then you got the hole).
• The character is a Poser 1 guy with a blob head.
