TITLE: Robot VentriloquistThis is a photograph I took while on holiday in Robotonia. I paid 
twenty pounds to get in to see a robot ventriloquist. The comedy 
aspect worked really well, with jokes about sprockets featuring
heavily. However I was shocked, nay, appalled to see a speaker 
cleverly concealed in the robot's box. Needless to say I asked 
for my money back.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The robot was created for a different scene, with simple primitives
and a layout conducive to animation (I managed to make him walk quite
convincingly). The dummy is obviously just the robot scaled down.
The top hat, speaker, curtain, chair legs, seat and back are all points
converted to lathes and prisms. The stage has a simple wood texture
with warps (I don't know if they worked). The sign and box have image 
maps drawn (badly) in Photostyler.
