Description
Continuing my hunt for freeware that I can run off mu usb key I found Kerkythea - a physically accurate render app rather like Maxwell.
http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla/index.php
the object was made in TopMod and rendered in 2 hours with no postwork.
Why Impossi ball?
The glass ball has a polished copper ball in its centre - this could just not happen but I am happy to pretend.

Inconceiva BALL. Very nicley done.
Excellent work and textures, well done...
Look like something that could take you anywhere you want to go for free:) and fast. great work on the lighting and render.
The interesting thing would be to use a black oxidized copper ball inside a brown glass of exactly the same emissivity. Then try to determine where the surface of emission located. At opacity or at transparency. It's a Maxwell thing. Don't anyone go do this empirically.
Great render and what looks like an interesting app - thanks for doing the research for us all!! Now to go and have a look...

wonderful, I love the textures and the shape, very cool
cool looking
Very interesting both from the perspective of trying new and different applications, but also the surreal and eye pleasing end result.
That's hot, mate. Excellent shapes and mats, and good sculpting with your lighting. I have one crit though: The problem of vitrifying a copper sphere is entirely and emminently solva ball.
