IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

It's early morning and the sun just rose up after a long, long night.
The evening started well, but now some are broke and some are broken.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Everything in scene is CSG because the Bezier patches just didn't came
out OK. I used Moray for modelling and then hand-tweaked the scene. I 
don't know how and why, but the rendering time felt from 13 hours before 
tweaking to 5 hours after it. Hmm, maybe it was just the computer that 
worked faster... ;)

The imagemaps for cards (included in .zip file as jpgs) were scanned 
with PaintShop Pro, except the card backs which were drawn. Of course, 
the 2 of clubs doesn't exist in a poker game, but I had to put it in 
because of its special meaning. ;) I was having many problems with 
caustics - the light that is coming trough the glass was too strong or 
wasn't visible at all, especially the light coming from the 'sun'.
