Ok, I already head this posted, but in poor quality.

After waiting so long, I decided to do a website and now I've loaded up a lot of
my animations in better quality to ended them into my website.

I will post all animations here as well.

Have fun,
Holger

I assume you mean this web site:

;)

Cool stuff but it would be nice to have a shorter
path from thumbnails to full resolution images.

Also, is "Powdered by POV-Ray" a pun or a typo? :D

pun :)

The content management system hops around when clicking like the flee in the
pen. Well from some point it makes sense, but I can understand the problem
behind this...

I'll do some experiments. But this can take a view days.

Best rgds,

Hi there,

cool stuff indeed and very well done professional work.

A pun in my eyes. POV was only used to render all these animations. The
characters (the alien in the park or this windmill-monster) were created using
professional software (ZBrush and other stuff as Holger Carsten admitted on his
new website). He then recorded some little movies on a day with an overcast sky
with his camcorder to avoid sharp shadows and than placed his robots before this
backgrounds and rendered the scenes in POV. Whatever his reasons was to do that,
I don't know, having all this professional stuff at hand. Look at the movies:
the alien in the park gives only very small shadows, the windmill-monster in the
backyard gives none. As cannot be expected by placing a 3d-figure in front of a
movie - may the camera-position estimated as well as possible by this
voodoo-software. This whole thing is very well done, but POV is merely a random
feature in this, he could have used ervery other software at his hand. Why he
used POV and placed this link here is unkonwon.

Regards,
Michael

I apologize for being a little bit too harsh at the end of my last posting. But
I was disappointed. Once after recognizing the real nature of the animations and
second that this was not stated. Only the mention of this voodoo-software
revealed the true creation of these movies to me. Even the combination of the
real and the rendered world is a job very well done. But it should be stated as
being done so. And ... this backyard leaf-cleaning machine should bend the
grasses a little bit. This is probably the main problem with merging the real
with the rendered world in this way: there is no interaction.

Michael

Hey no worrys :)

Actually the most of this little movies where never finished. But just throw
them away on the other side would be wrong.

PovRay is not very much used in compositing-works. Not heaving additional layers
when rendering may be one reason for this. I've try to use the post-effects in
Megapov but that was not useful.

So doing some test for making "instant-compositings" was an obstacle, I liked to
solve.

And yes, I could have used any other renderer (as heaving a special category of
other renderer, used in my blog) but sometimes it's not about the picture as the
result, sometimes it's about the path you walk.

Best rgds,
Holger
