Science at Work

I had a hard time deciding what to do for this round until I stumbled on a YouTube video two weeks ago showing the simple science of drawing a boiled egg into a bottle by reducing the vacuum inside that bottle. Basically, it's a labratory scene where the technician is showing this experiment in action. From what I've read, this experiment is over 100 years old!

Description of how this image was created
As usual, everything was produced using Wings apart from the Poser arm and hand. The hand was interesting as I managed to find quite a good skin texture that seems to work ok. Adding the hairs and creases to the hand was harder than I expected, but that seems to work also. The circle and text on the milk bottle would have been hard to model without the Wings plugin 'Arc Bending'. That's a great tool for bending stuff... I wanted to add photons, but everything I tried, killed the smoke in the milk bottle.

1.   31-08-2007 Perhaps a bit clean as laboratories go, but otherwise a well-constructed scene. The text on the piece of newspaper seems particularly relevant to me....
