— Joint Venture Nibor – Projects: Robin # 3b: Maccina —
Robin # 3b: Maccina
v00: David
- Initiated by: David. Date: May 2005.
- Motto: None.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.7 MB

v01: Horo
- Horo changed the material on the bow to create transparent holes,
placed two sticks through the holes, added the spheres on the sticks
and placed a semi transparent cone with a light in it in the middle.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.9 MB.

v01 alternate: Horo
- Alternate, i.e. simpler, lighting. This thread was not followed.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.9 MB.

v01 Anaglyph: Horo
- An anaglyph to check on the correct placing of the sticks through
the holes.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.9 MB.

v02: David
- David made the spheres at the end of the sticks partly transparent
and applied an electric spark like material to some of them. The floor
was made partly reflecting to show shadow and reflection when illuminated
with the changed lighting. The colour of the material on the bow shaped
construct was changed as was the material on the cone and the light inside
it altered.
- Bryce Source File Size: 0.7 MB.

v03: Horo
- Horo made all spheres at the ends of the sticks similar, re-aligned them,
created a gaussian or bell shaped terrain as a mirror and set the composition
inside. The picture format was changed from landscape to portrait and rendered
with the soft reflection option activated.
- Bryce Source File Size: 1.7 MB.

v03 alternate: Horo
- Same setup as v03 but rendered without soft reflections. It becomes very
difficult for the observer to determine what is real and what is mirrored.
This thread was not followed.
- Bryce Source File Size: 1.7 MB.

v04: David
- David altered the material of the bell shaped mirror, added another stick
and spheres with the same material that get a sort of shadow in form of
coloured tori. Lighting was changed by introducing a ring of 72 radial,
coloured lights with coloured shadows.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.2 MB.

v05: Horo
- Horo made a pit in the bell shaped floor, put a light and 5 orbs in it.
A hovering ring with 4 orbs was put in orbit of a small orb at right.
From here onwards, the picture deviates considerably from the original setup.
We decided therefore, to continue with another thread.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.5 MB (delta 1.2 MB).

v05-01: David
- David changed lighting and applied DOF.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.4 MB.

v05-02: Horo
- Horo moved sun to change the position of the shadows and moved camera
to center the objects. The black pit became a very faint glow.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.3 MB.

Result
- A «maccina» is just a machine. A strange one here. Name
giving is not always simple. «Cone and sizzling Spheres» would
fit as well. Well …
