Hi folks,
this was made last friday, in about 3 hrs and took about 14 hrs to
render 70 frames.
The little plants are just clipped spheres, textured with a black and
white image map used with the pigment_pattern pattern in mpov06. the
black and white image map let me use the same image map on each clover
but with slightly different colour_maps.
is anyone able to view this? - i'm using an mpeg encoder that i've never
used before.

I can view it fine Ben (Media Player 6.4 I think)
It's really great. It looks like you used MegaPOV's post-process
depth-of-field rather than the standard DOF. Am I right? The DOF really
improves the anim. Well done.

well, to be honest, i did use pov's standard dof: hence the 14 hr render
time!!
looking back, i prolly should have given the post process a go.
i'll look into that one...
but yes, the dof does have quite an effect!

MPG worked fine for me.
Very pretty colors. Nice atmosphere to the
scene. Now... add a little wind!

Yeah, but ask yourself... why are you really
interested?

I use Windows Media Player version 7 and it will display the mpg file but
there's a blinking purple line across the bottom of the animation. It looks
like it's about 1-2 pixels high and goes all the way across the frame during
the entire animation.

yes! wind! i need to standardise the way i work so that i don't have to
re-code things like wind.
i've created wind effects for only afew things now and i always seem to
have to start again each new time.
i'd like to eventually build up a library of atmospheric effects, like
wind types, assorted things floating thru the air etc..
thanks.

Nice plants. Just clipped spheres? I like the colour scheme you used here.
The ground looks a bit flat at the end of the animation. Is it just a
textured plane? If so, may I suggest to use a heightfield for it?

save here, only noticed it when playing it full screen :)
could you continue the clovers on to the horizon? or patches of them.

Windows NT 4 and MS Media Player (6.4.05.0809).
I'm suffering from the purple line in 1x, 2x and full screen, but not in
0.5x magnification. Otherwise looks great.
Can I ask, are the clover all slightly different shades of green, or is it
the specular making them appear to change colour slightly as the image
rotates ?

yes, yes i could. i just layed out a suqare patch (translate
<(rand(sd1)*5)-2.5,0,(rand(sd2)*5)-2.5>) and then animated the camera and then
only realised the "patch" didin't fill the view once the anim was rendered ...
such is life whilst raytracing.
I guess i'd then instance the patch that i do have out to the horizon.
i think maybe a useful macro would be to create a view frustum that you could
call to define the bounds of object creation.

The clovers are all slightly varied in colour. I textured with the black and
white image map and then in each loop creating each clover i added a
colour_map that was randomly varied by a very small factor. While the factor
is very small, i'd say that, within the reason of pov's random generator, each
clover's colour is unique.
it may have made more sense, in a economy of memory kinda way, to have made 3
or 4 descreet different textures, because at the moment there are as many
pigment definitions as there are individual clovers.

You are correct! The ground is textured plane. I wasn'tt expecting the angle
of the camera to get so low. Yes, a height field would be perfect. I could
then add some more interest with small hills and the like. I should be
returning to other projects, but with features like povray has, it's possible
to play with scenes forever!

No purple line, even full screen.
