The above graphic (done in TurboCad 3D) is why I got into 3D graphics. This graphic depicts a clear crystal (of undetermined material) cut with laser precision. The purpose of this form is to reflect light. In order for this to happen, a highly reflective metalic cylinder surrounds the crystal while leaving the very ends of the crystal uncovered. Light enters the object at either end and is shaped by the crystal facets so that the light is eventually trapped at the core. The light cannot escape except through energy transference. This is a light-to-heat or light-to-laser invention. So that was what got me started. Now I create and view 3D graphics for a hobby and learning experience. Charles (sittingblue)
