See the initial post in irtc.stills

I think that at this tough times it would be a good
idea to unite POV-Ray users from different countries
in one project.

The only requirement to participate in this project
is admiration for POV-Ray and good experience in
POV-Ray.

The reference image for this project is a painting
by english painter William Marlow called 'Capriccio:
St.Paul's and a Venetian Canal':

http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/AWork?id=9296

This is just the reference image. It doesn't mean that the
result of this project should be exact replica of it. But
it's a good starting point.

Here are some obvious rules:
- use only your own objects and textures
- image maps (if any) should be in a high resolution
- all sources and textures will be open

Here are image elements which should be done:

- St. Paul cathedral Dome (let me know if you need detailed
  drawing)

- St. Paul Cathedral Facade (let me know if you need detailed
  drawing)

- Water + Wooden posts (it would be great to have Christoph Hormann
  on board for this item)

- Boats + Sails (it would be great to have Txemi Jendrix on board for
  this item)

- People (it would be great to have Gilles Tran on board for this item)

- Sky + Clouds

- Houses (it would be great to have Nathan O'Brian on board for
  this item. I will also contribute here)

- Lighting (it would be great to have Jaime Vives Piqueres on board
  for this item)

We together will decide what will be included to the final scene.
Feel free to use any technique and tool. Let's try to finish image
for current IRTC round deadline.
Newsgroup for image submission and image discussions is
povray.binaries.images
Newsgroup for sources is
povray.binaries.scene-files

As an initial input I'll provide one of the houses pretty soon.
I'll put it in p.b.s-f. Take it and add your element or improve
existing one and show us result. This way we will add
more and more elements to that scene and eventually create
good image together :)

Good Luck!

Gena.

  Nice idea, Genna! Too bad I'm really busy these days... but I will
try to help a bit anyhow. I agree that this image should not be entered
on the IRTC, but use IRTC topic and deadline.

  Count me in then... but I think that perhaps all my job will be
setting up Skylight.inc by Philippe Debar: it can be really great for
the sun lighting and of course for the sky sphere.

I like the idea of an 'open' cooperation project where the development of
the scene will be visible to everyone.  I think this has never been tried
before and i'm not sure how well it will work but it is definitely worth
trying.

The latter will be difficult with human figures - you probably know Gilles
and others mostly use non-free data for this purpose.

I think Ib Rasmussen modelled this before:

I will see what i can do...

www.imp.org , though "everyone" means member with password in this case

BTW i'm still waiting for an updated version of that file - there seem to
have been quite some problems in the original version posted in p.b.s-f.
and i am somewhat too lazy to understand the things that have been
discussed there... ;-)

As one of the workarounds here we could use high res. image maps.
For example place the figure in the scene render it it in high res. and use
it as an image map later on in that scene. The only problem here is
flat shadow from plane with image map.

Great! I remembered that somebody did it before but didn't remember
the name.
So, Ib Rasmussen if you are reading this posting and if you want
to join you are welcome. Again if you don't want to share your source
files we could just use high res. image map (though sources would be
more preferable :).

Feel free to join the process at any stage.

I'm reading, and you can have the source. I have published it once upon 
a time, in one of the object collections, but that probably doesn't 
exist any more.

I shall post it in p.b.scene-files once I locate it on my hard disk.

With the advent of powerful freeware mesh modellers, such as Wings 3D, 
originally modelled figures could be possible I think

Great idea!

I'm specialized for physically accurate modelling. Materials, lightning,
some mathematics, coding and other stuff. I can made physically accurate
water and other materials in scene.

Here is code for sky sphere and sunlight. I adjust sunlight little cooler
(-> yellow) from 6504K white point.

---

#declare SunLightSize = 5;                // Angle
#declare SunLightShadowMinimumDetail = 0; // 0 - 9
#declare SunLightShadowMaximumDetail = 0; // 0 - 9


// Sky
sky_sphere {
  pigment {
    gradient y
    color_map {
      [0.0 rgb 0]
      [0.5 rgb 0]
      [0.5 rgb <176, 226, 255> / 255]
      [1.0 rgb < 96, 123, 139> / 255]
    }
    scale <1,2,1>
    translate <0, 1, 0>
  }
}


// Sun
light_source {
  <0, 100000, 0>, rgb <1.14014, 0.97155, 0.86895>

  #if (SunLightShadowMaximumDetail)
    #if (SunLightShadowMaximumDetail = 1)
      #local SunLightArea = tan(radians(SunLightSize / 2)) * pi * 50000;
    #else
      #local SunLightArea = tan(radians(SunLightSize / 2)) * 200000;
    #end

    area_light <SunLightArea, 0, 0> , <0, 0, SunLightArea>,
      SunAreaLightSize, SunAreaLightSize

    adaptive SunLightShadowMinimumDetail - 1

    #if (SunLightShadowMaximumDetail > 1)
      circular
    #end
  #end

  media_attenuation on

  photons {
    refraction on
    reflection on
    area_light
  }
  rotate <20, 0, 0> // Zenith
  rotate <0, 60, 0> // Azimuth
}

And here is water. Absorbtion works one unit = 1m -scale. Highlight is
dependant on lightning so it probably need adjustment. This is pure water
so we probably have to add some dirt. We also have to add surface normal or
make isosurface to make ripples. These adjustments is difficult to make
until we have some objects in scene.

---

#declare WaterMaterial = material {
  texture {
    pigment { rgbf 1 quick_color rgb <0, 0.87058, 1> }
    finish {
      ambient 1/8
      diffuse 7/8
      specular 1
      roughness 0.0005
      //reflection 0.18813
      reflection { fresnel }
    }
  }
  interior {
    ior 1.33
    //caustics 1
    dispersion 1.007
    //dispersion_samples 7 * 255

    media {
      method 3
      intervals 1
      samples 1,1
      variance 1 / 255
      absorption rgb <0.11064, 0.01432, 0>
    }
  }
}
