i used boolean operations to fit them in. a \u201emash\u201c network (programmed originally by ian waters, UK) distributed the single car 500 times randomly on the sphere\u2018s surface. finally, i set up a camera and rendered the scene from different angles.<\/p>\n<p>the first image involved depth of field (DOF): only the car in the center of the scene is totally in focus. the effect has to be used with care: if the focus is too shallow the scene looks like a miniature setting of car toys and not like the big planet earth. it took 27 minutes to render this effect in 5k resolution using a standard, not very current PC, and rather advanced render settings.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7487\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7487\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7487\" src=\"http:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/manyCarsCarsOnEarthMorning.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/manyCarsCarsOnEarthMorning.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/manyCarsCarsOnEarthMorning-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/manyCarsCarsOnEarthMorning-768x435.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>cars on earth. grafik: ms\/dpa<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7485\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7485\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7485\" src=\"http:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/carsCarsOnEarth.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/carsCarsOnEarth.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/carsCarsOnEarth-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maxschoenherr.de\/clock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/carsCarsOnEarth-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>upstreamin&#8216;
