  False-colour IR imagine... (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

Hi all.

I suppose this is perhaps a little off-topic, but hey...

I was wondering if anyone can think up a good way to arrive at a
false-colour image. Basically, I'm planning to use radiosity to make a
grey-scale image, which I'd then like to convert to false-colour. In other
words, the black areas stay black, but very dark grey becomes red, lighter
grey becomes yellow, 50% grey becomes green, etc.

Actually, I was wondering if POV-Ray itself can be perswaded to do the
trick. Any ideas folks?

Thanks.
Andrew.

OK, so I can't spell! :'(

(That *should* of course have been "image"... [sigh])

Declare your picture as a pigment.  Use that pigment
in a new function declaration.

Now for the actual pigment, use your function
(x, y, z).gray and then code your own color map.

pigment {
  function { my_function(x, y, z).gray }
  color_map {
    [ 0 color rgb 0 ]  // black
    [ 1/3 color rgb <1, 0, 0> ] // red
    [ 2/3 color rgb <1, 0.5, 0> ] // yellow
    [ 1 color rgb 0 ]  // white
  }
}

Fun.  :)
