Wallpaper: Christmas 2012 (XXII) : Christmas Tinsel, balls and stars [ Imagen 1280×1024 y HD 1920 x 1080 ]
Although the tinsel is a distinctive element in the holidays, due to the computational difficulty of the simulation does not appear too often in the wallpapers that I leave on the blog.
It is necessary to simulate many thousands of tiny hairs that reflect light between them in a dance almost infinite rays to get a more or less acceptable appearance.
In the following wallpaper, after modeling in Blender tinsel, We added a couple of fields and a particle system generating a shower of stars to complete the stage.
