(RoW April 17 – 23)

Spherical Textures was created by using many texture and reflection maps. It was rendered with very high quality effects and global illumination. Two of the textures consist of glass. Notice that these two small spheres (the green and purple) flip the reflections of the other spheres (so the reflections are upside down). This is what happens in real life when other objects reflect off glass spheres.

The render time for this image took just above 2 hours.
