Well, obviously not ready for the irtc top 10 ...
I am just (re)discovering this marvellous piece of Software named PovRay ,
and I must say that until now it masters me more than I master it ...
(previous try was 1994, time flies ...)
A big THANKS to the PovTeam, and to all the community for all the online
resources,
and cg masterpieces, available to the newcomers.
When I downloaded Povray, Gilles Tran's "Wet bird" was on the Hall of Fame
display. Could not
believe it was made with a ray tracer ...
Image rendered in 8.0 seconds (but it took me approx 48 hours to design it
... please don't laugh)
The teddy is a CSG approximation of my daughter's favorite, textured using
Rune S. Johansen's furtex macro.
The moon is an image_map from an Appolo photo, the sky is a (surprise!)
sky_sphere,
stars are small spheres with high ambient randomly placed using a #while
loop.
The butterfly is Micha Riser's buterfly.pov code.
I still need to understand how sky_sphere really work, did not succeed in
making the sky I wanted ..
How do you make a nice sunset sky ??
All in all, t'is fun so far ...

This is just wonderful theme, Would be a perfect cover picture for a
childrens book. The rock or what ever it is would need som work on the
textureing

Hi Pascal
Great first post, I love the little island, though not anatomically
correct the teddy is good. I get the feeling by looking at this that
the reflection of the moon is in the wrong place, maybe you could fix
this by lifting the camera up a bit, I feel asthough the moon's reflection
should appear behind the island.
Keep up the good work.

Looks a bit like the teddy is flattened by something. But the furry surface
of it is very good.

You are right!

No me ;-) Looks like a bowl of jelly, and the texture is too regular.

Uh? What is an anatomically correct teddy? This is only a toy, not a model
of a real bear! :-)
It is OK for me. Good work of CSG.

Me too.
The sky is a bit too bright, the stars would be not visible there.
Keep up the fun and pleasure of ray-tracing!
Regards.

Well, thanks.

Definitely. The render is far from what I would like to have, but t'is the
best I can do
given my current Povray skills ...
I need to better understand how texturing works , and find a nice
isosurface ...
A lot of people here are doing nice landscape scenes using heightfields,
unfortunately I can't find how to use them. So far, I end up only with ugly
looking objects ...
anybody knows about a "theory" to describe good rock/sand textures ?
Somehow I have the feeling that modeling sand grain by grain is not the
solution :-)

How do you make sand-like textures, by the way ? As for the shape, I think
keeping "simple" volumes
is a must, given the theme. I am not researching a photo realistic island
(it is beyond my skills anyway).
[about teddy]
I think i can make a better looking limbs, while still using "simple"
volumes. Need to work on body/limb
joints placement also.

Well, since I want the camera to be below the teddy, I think it will be
difficult to have the reflection
behind the highland ...

Will rework my stars generation macro.
Thanks for the comments,

Note that I am even more newbie than you. I played with PoV-Ray quite some
time ago, but I never went too far, and I forgot a lot meantime...
Anyway, I saw an interesting scene, even if there was a problem with the
height_field file.
Find it at: news:3d424320@news.povray.org
The sand texture was not bad, and is at least something to start on.
Just in case, I copy it here:
texture {
pigment {color rgb 1.34*<0.75,0.68,0.5>}
normal {bozo, 0.8 scale 0.2}
finish {crand 0.1 ambient 0.4}
}

That's the spirit, first make something that vaguely look to what you have
in mind, then improve it...
> Thanks for the comments,
You are welcome. I provide here my "artistic" eye more than my "PoV
technical" one :-)
Here is my attempt at a simple scene showing this texture.
I failed to make an isosurface island... I will work more on this.

#include "colors.inc"
camera {
