I've gone back to a hair-macro of mine, played around with it,
also fiddled a little with radiosity, and voila...
I've just tried to make a warm and smooth, but abstract
image.
If possible, I'd like to receive two types of comments:
One on the picture: on what to improve (I don't like the
washed out foreground, perhaps I'll go back to simple
antialiasing instead of focal-blur, or remove that object).
And the second type, on what you feel. I'm thinking about
using more hair per furball, right now, its 500 per ball,
for 31 balls, 20 objects per hair: tons of objects, a little
parsing time (just a few minutes).
Tracing time was 12 hours...

Amazing how furrballs can start to look like firework. Did a firework macro
myself some time ago ( see
http://users.skynet.be/johan.feyaerts/raytracing.htm)
I also used little cylinders with varying emission to make one ray of light.
Takes a lot of time to render but the effect is very nice. Equations for for
firework & furrball may be quite similar, it's gravity after all...Colefax
lensflare did the finishing touch on my firework

Reminds me of an old (very) DOS screensaver called fireworks.
I like it and think it would make a neat modern replacement.

Looks more like fireworks than fur to me as well. :)
Actually, I wouldn't guess that this was a POV-Ray image
myself unless I had been explicitly told so.

Okay, okay, after some time, I realized that as well
(especially after I had a peak at my desktop from
acroos the room). I'll use more and thinner hair in the
next version...

Why not? What did you think?

Those aren't animated fireworks! But probably similiarly
(does that word exist?) generated hair...
:-(
I'll use more of them the next time,
right now, my machine has to trace an image,
which needs to be finished till the IRTC-Stills
deadline...

Well, for one thing ... where is the sphere hovering above the checkered
plane? Or the pyramids?
I don't know why exactly, but I would have thought some sort
of digital illustration tool.

It's yet another example of something unusual I think. Dare I say, freaky.
It's abstract and yet has at least a touch of surrealism in that it isn't
anything you could say is a real thing or a fake thing. I believe that smear
in the foreground, lower left corner, adds something to it. I didn't
immediately see it as one or two of the luminous prongs, it was more of a
messed up photograph sense to me. That can be interesting apparently yet I
don't know if I've ever thought that before of a rendering.

Thank you! That's one of those comments where
you actually have to think, if its praise or criticism,
and what to make of it for future images. I like that
kind. :-)
Regards,
Tim
