Friends,
The above is what I need. My main problem at the moment is the attempt
to create rose petals. (The stem is probably going to be a long skinny
cylinder, and is the least of my worries right now.)
I know I'm going to wind up layering the things. But does anyone have
any thoughts on how rose petals might best be handled in terms of the
basic shape? Can one or another of the primitives be successfully
mangled into a petal shape...say, discs "bent out of shape" and rotated?
Or very flat round-cornered triangles?
Any scrap of code which anyone feels like throwing in my direction would
be extremely welcome.
Best! -- Diane

Go to http://www.irtc.org. Navigate to the previous rounds section.
Go to October, 1997 - "Arts and Entertainment". The winner, "The
Drama of Cinema" by Glenn McCarter has an excellent rose. Download
cinema.zip, which contains the pov code to create it and cinema.txt,
which contains his comments on the image and his email address. It is
good for study, and I believe that he would give you permission to use
it directly. For general pov-compatible modelling of that sort of
shape at the right (free) price, cosider sPatch, by Mike Clifton if
you are using Win95+. It is pretty easy to do petals with sPatch. It
is at http://www.cableone.net/alyson/spatch.html.
Beware! Pov is an addiction! Could cut into your writing time!

Many thanks! Will do.

(snort) It already has. :) But hey, people have to relax somehow...
(like by rendering and *re*rendering and *rere*rendering and
*rerere*rendering a sphere on a plane...and moving four different light
sources around to see how the shadows fall...and screwing up the light
syntax and having to move everything around thirty more times...).
Best! D.

Yes, sPatch would be fine. Finer still might be a iso surface, maybe
someone will have a tip on the correct shape. Or you could go about
guessing at one yourself. Just get the Super Patch if you haven't already,
if you can find it.
Reason I say this is because of the possible long parse time a collection
of bicubic_patch rose petals would cause.
