I acted on my yearly urge to do a Pov-Ray pumpkin.

The isosurface using the base, shape and texture functions is in the 
upper left of the image. All other pumpkins are deformations of those 
functions as additional isosurfaces. The original image is a third 
larger than that attached and rendered in about 12 minutes with one 
light and radiosity.

Delicious!

And neatly in time for Halloween.

[Which reminds me that I have to go to the farm and buy my reserve for 
the winter months...]

Good work. Maybe the texture is too clean? There are often little warts 
or colour changes between top and bottom.

I'm always impressed by what can be done with isosurfaces.
And it's even hollow!  :)
Next thing we know, there will be isosurface seeds and that spaghetti stuff...
;)

Thomas makes the point about coloration, and indeed there is usually some
spreading of the green from the stem out onto the surface, as well as the pale,
fish-belly yellow on the underside where it meets the ground.

I think acorn squash are visually determined to be ripe by looking at the
underside and seeing if it's orange.  I've always wondered what causes that
specific change in coloration - only where it's in contact with the soil.

Is this an adaptation of the equations for the isosurface apple?

Those are very good pumpkins. Procedural texture?

Thanks all.

I didn't spend too much time on the textures & agree most pumpkins are 
uglier & more varied - especially across varieties and sizes.

The texture for the surface of the pumpkin is a slightly variable color 
about a core color plus normal bumps scaled very small to add some 
graininess.

The rest of the effect comes from the pumpkin shape being formed with 
the aid of a spherical displacement map. The spherical map was created 
in Pov-Ray ahead of time using the spherical camera and it gets used for 
the rind and meat sub-functions of the total shape's function.

I thought a little about adding guts, but I plan to use it first for a 
Happy Halloween Jack-o'-lantern. For the lantern, the guts would have to 
be cleaned out and I didn't want to deal with that slimy mess! ;-)

No, I didn't start with Mike's parametric apple, but some of the 
underlying math is similar.

Imo, that is spot on.

[Did I note /spherical camera/ on my todo list? Hmmm... yes I did. three 
times actually.]  :-)

These are great, the shape is perfect (for a perfect pumpkin of course which is
tough to find, they are mostly distorted in a non symmetrical manner).

I am jealous of your isosurface skills though.

Not just you, Sean. Not just you.

Good work Bill, maybe you can add some (little) perturbations in the 
surface...
