Do you remember those images and scenes I found on floppy some years back and
uploaded for you? (2003 I think). I just checked and they are still on the
server! I will post the URL and/or move them to a public area if you like.

PS just had a look at it - it's a real blast from the past!

That's be great!  I am busy right now running PCKTWTCH (Pocket watch) with
focal blur and area lights.  Its fun updating the old images.

I was going through my old 3.5" disks last night and I found that I still
have POVRAY 1.0!!  Of course, I no longer have a floppy drive (well, I do,
but at work).

I emailed the one with the graphic of the mugs, and got this reply when I
got home tonight:
==========================================================
Dan,

Mike and I started a business called Head Spin Studios in Ohio in 1992.  I
bought him out in 1996 and started my own business called High Energy
Graphics soon thereafter.  I lost track of him about 4 years ago, but I
remember you from the POV-RAY world (I worked in POV for a while, and

about him and send it to you.


Doug

Hi, Doug,



I'm looking for any information about Mike Miller, former POV-Ray artist.
Your coffee mug image looks so similar to Mike's raytracings that I thought
that you might know something.

A little O.T., but someone was looking for POV-Ray 1.0 in the following thread:

A while back I did in fact put version 1.0 of POV up on our ftp site at
http://www.povray.org/ftp/pub/povray/Old-Versions/

Heh - That is one of the images that inspired me to start POV-ing.

Nope, that wasn't mine, Tor.

I never did get to finish the render with focal blur and area lights,
however.  My brand-new Dell XPS 400 came crashing down and had to be
rebuilt.  Just getting back online with it tonight.  Has anybody ever
noticed how bad Dell's support is? Heh!

the dispatch pic looks like him to me, the earlier msg's one does not. I was
really psyched to hear he was teaching something at CCAD here but now i cant
find it... I'd go take it just for kicks, its really very informative to be
around the guy.

I learned quite a lot working for him and Doug Dodd there at Headspin Studios in
the mid-late 90's. I was something of the house programmer/scripter and junior
artist, studying under those two. I just tried contacting Doug through that
highenergygraphics link, hopefully he'll respond... I'd love to catch up. No
leads on Mike tho, that guy has to keep real busy with his family and all. Maybe
someday he'll find some more time to blow our minds with crazy 3D!

Nice to hear that.  I'm glad he's found a career in teaching game design. :)
