Hi(gh)!

POVghanistan: Paghman Range Panorama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5pCZdj_VGM

After fixing the triangle gaps problem (see entry in p.b.i), I rendered 
my first small animation of a vista point in POVghanistan... to be 
precise, a mountain saddle in the 4,630-metres Paghman Range west of 
Kabul. Due to RAM limitations, I currently can use only one 
square-degree ASTER data tile at a time, this will probably not change 
in the nearer future (even now, POV-Ray's peak memory usage is 14.2 GB!).

In the coming weeks, I may add smooth triangles and a more elaborate sky 
and atmosphere model, preferably that of Bruno Cabasson.

Later on, I may render animations of low-altitude overflights covering 
more than one data tile, carefully customizing mesh2s to contain as much 
terrain as possible toward the horizon in viewing direction...

See you in Khyberspace!
