Phew! After 146 hours of rendering, knot world is finally finished. My iBook
ran out of memory halfway through, but luckily I could turn off some stuff
and restart it with +C so it ended up OK.
For the knotted-loop connoisseur:
Foreground - granny knot.
Middle distance - figure-eight knot.
Far distance (bottom right) - trefoil knot.
Yes, that's a giant figure-eight knot in the hazy sky, and yes, that's Aiko3
on the balcony in the foreground, wearing next to nothing as per usual.
1600x1200 version here:
http://www.infradead.org/~wmp/knotworld_1600x1200.jpg
(Incidentally, http://www.infradead.org/~wmp/ has almost everything I've
ever rendered on it somewhere, so have a look.)
I'd love to have followed some of the suggestions offered for this work from
previous posts, but it would simply have been too complicated in many cases!
Comment and critique welcomed, as always.
enjoy
Bill

Awesome. Really good work, I like the details (like the plane) a lot.
Nice Sky, too, as in the last versions.
Keep up the good work!

Uii!!! Wow! Uff!
Well, awesome! Incredible! Wow again! It is amazing in creativity and
result. Hmm, maybe I had given the more distant knots a tiny shade of dust
yellow-orange, like the clouds. Just a touch.
Even moss is there. And the combination of stone and wood does its part, as
well!
And then I would like to ask you to publish (or e-mail me) a larger version
of this image, I want to add it to my desktop backgrounds!
Thanks a lot, and with applauding hands,
Sven

Hey!
Incredible, indeed!
The banners are a delicate touch in the scene.
Do you like Hayao Miyazaki? Some of your works (including this) remember me
his scenes.
Enjoyed,
;-)

Most excellent. Where do the planes land? :-)

Thanks everyone... looks like this one's a hit!

Follow the link given for the 1600 x 1200 version... that's the largest I've
rendered. I can't really render anything larger, although I'd love to (it'd
be great to put it on zazzle, for a start) - it'd take over 3 months to
render a 6400 x 4800 image on my iBook, not counting the inevitable memory
overflow... unless someone has some kick-ass hardware lying around!
Paolo:

I do, very much - I think Miyazaki's films are among the most visually
beautiful I've ever seen, and he tells great stories with great characters.
I'm not consciously influenced by his work, but I see where you're coming
from (Laputa: Castle in the Sky particularly). Praise indeed!
Darren:
> Most excellent. Where do the planes land? :-)
You got me. At least you didn't spot the absence of pilots... :-/
I've started a new project now, but I'll try to render a couple of detail
pictures from knotworld over the coming weeks.

The planes are sightseers, like our whale spotters. Attempts to
actually land on Knotworld with airships revealed that the structures
could not actually be landed on, that they are not substantitive in our
dimension in that way. Like cornstarch and water, if you bang into
them, they are solid, but their surface offers no resistance for a
static weight.

you've been a very knotty boy.
I know - that was bad.
