I used Inkscape to create the anchor. I made the anchor by drawing
bezier lines on top of an image of a real anchor. When completed, I
exported the bezier lines with the pov-export feature in Inkscape.
The escapement gear was only partially made in Inkscape. I used the
same procedure as described above, but only for one tooth. The object
is then duplicated and rotated 15 times in a macro, to form the gear.
The texture of the graph paper:
#declare P_Lines =
pigment {
gradient x
color_map {
[0.0 color rgbf <1, 1, 1, 1.0>]
[0.0 color rgbf <0.5, 0.5, 1, 0.0>]
[0.02 color rgbf <0.5, 0.5, 1, 0.0>]
[0.02 color rgbf <1, 1, 1, 1.0>]
#declare N = 0.1;
#while (N <= 1)
[N color rgbf <1, 1, 1, 1.0>]
[N color rgbf <0.5, 0.5, 1, 0.0>]
#if (N = 0.5)
[N + 0.015 color rgbf <0.5, 0.5, 1, 0.0>]
[N + 0.015 color rgbf <1, 1, 1, 1.0>]
#else
[N + 0.01 color rgbf <0.5, 0.5, 1, 0.0>]
[N + 0.01 color rgbf <1, 1, 1, 1.0>]
#end
#declare N = N + 0.1;
#end
}
}
#declare T_Grid =
texture {
pigment { color rgb <1, 1, 1> }
finish { ambient 0.5 }
}
texture {
pigment { P_Lines }
}
texture {
pigment { P_Lines rotate <0, 90, 0> }
}
