Hi all, I've been playing with isosurfaces again over the last few days, using
functions and spherical image maps to deform spheres into rocks (yes, again).

So, here's another rock.

Cheers,
Rob

That's a great looking rock. Your website is pretty amazing too!

Looks great, once again. (The rock that is, not the ground unfortunately 
:-P)

wonderful!  Perhaps a bit too porous...

prefect chemical erosion!  ;-)

Very nice!
I like the ground too, even if a bit less realistic.

Awesome... looks like pumice! But the ground is interesting too - did 
you use a crackle pigment?

How long did the whole thing take to render?

See you in Khyberspace!

Thanks Chris, and I agree about the ground - it's just a quick stand-in prop to
show off the rock. Now I'm going to have to think about how to do that cracked
mud *properly*...

@Dave - Thanks, that's nice to "hear" :)

@Jim - Ditto!

@nemesis - Aye, maybe too porous, but that was the challenge ;)

@Thomas - Heh, that works for me!

@Paolo - Thanks, the ground was just a quickie texture

@Yadgar - The ground texture is actually just a tiled image/bump map (cracked
paint on an old door). The image finished in about 17 minutes on my new Intel
Core i7 920 (8 rendering threads; finally, yay!).


Okay, here's another isosurface rock - a really big one - a shot of the moon
from a little animation test I started today. The moon is an isosurface with the
same type of spherical deformation code as the rock. Average frame rate was 3
minutes at HD 1920x1080 px.
