Imagine: IFW 2
Platform: AMD Thunderbird 1 GHz, 768 MB
Renderingtime: 1.5 seconds or so

The knife of honour or Bath'legh' is offered to a Klingon male as he reaches adulthood. This object is loosely modeled after a real Bath'legh' I happen to have. Don't want to get in trouble with Paramount, so it's a very loose interpretation... Made in Imagine two in an hour of modeling and an hour of tweaking. Modelled and rendered on my spanking new AMD Thunderbird 1 GHz beast, 3/4 gig ram. Bit of an overkill for this simple stuff eh? Image rendered at 1600x1200 in, oh, 1.5 seconds or so. Downsampled and cropped in Irfanview.

BTW, this is the fastest i ever worked for a contest... decided i'd participate on friday, 15th at noon (last day to enter)... finished and sent at 11 pm...
