And, leaving his hat on the grass, he went back to his cottage andthought.. at the laws of gravitation ! The anecdote is certainly false, but it is pretty and this image was inspired by it. For the french speaking people.. "Pourquoi la Lune ne tombe pas alors que cette pomme vient juste de tomber sur mon chapeau ?" S'est dit Isaac Newton. Et, laissant son chapeau sur l'herbe, il rentra dans son cottage pour reflechir.. aux lois de la gravitation ! L'anecdote est certainement fausse, mais elle est jolie et elle m'a inspire cette image. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This image uses many isosurfaces*: apples, reliefs, the decorative loop of the hat, as well as macro MakeTree and MakeGrass, of Gilles Tran, and Splinetree by Andrew Clinton, for all the trees and grass. The remainder is simple CSG, a little fog (we are in England), and a lot of greenery. * from http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/index.htm For the french speaking people.. Cette image utilise beaucoup d'isosurfaces : les pommes, les reliefs, la boucle décorative du chapeau, ainsi que les macros MakeTree et MakeGrass, de Gille Trans, et Spline Tree d'Andrew Clinton pour tous les arbres. Le reste est de la simple CSG, un peu de brouillard (on est en Angleterre), et de la verdure.
