For all those who can't get the printed version (or who need an 
encouragement to get it :-)) here is the image used for the title page 
of the POV-Ray article of mine printed in the latest issue of c't.

The article is about creating isosurface landscapes in POV-Ray.

The text is only available in print but you can download the listings 
that belong to it from

http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/03/20/206/

If you render them you should get an idea what the article is about.

As always, that's incredible.  Up until last month, I lived on the Navajo
Nation in northeastern Arizona, and the scene reminds me much of some areas
near my old home.  It needs some sage or rabbit brush and perhaps a
scraggly juniper tree to be a perfect match for there (but it probably is a
perfect match for somewhere else in the world.)  Someday, when my skills
improve, I'll give it a go, creating a fake Navajo landscape.  I've already
made the Hooghan (8-sided house), but it also needs some work.

What does c't stand for?  (I had a grandfather from Germany, but I guess I
didn't inherit the German-speaking gene ;-))

It is one of the better German computer magazines.

Incredibly detailed, awesome.  Just out of curiosity, can I just get an 
idea as to what kind of render time we would be looking at for that image 
(at the resolution and quality level presented here)?

Drool,
Most excellent.
Something for us all to aim for. Any chance for the isosurface definition ?

Great landscape !
Thanks for the link, I had a bit of panic when I saw a page in german, 
but the zip file for the tutorial is just down the page hopefully.
I'm currently working a lot with isosurfaces and functions and they are 
great for modeling. I just wait for faster computers to come on the 
market now.

Nice article and great picture! Can we expect more articles to come?

The magazine comes every two weeks. The article is in 20/2003.

Well done, Christoph!

No error here :)  The files are for the articles tutorial, not for the
actual isosurface in the image posted to the newsgroup.

That's why I said "I think".  It wasn't clear from his message if the tutorial 
in the article produced this stunning image or another one.

Your landscapes are awsome Christoph.  I wish you would put some of the code
up on your website, maybe make a little include package of it :)

I read the article and really wanted a tutorial (or the source) for
_this_ image.

> The article is about creating isosurface landscapes in POV-Ray.

Yes, but not this one. :-(

Is it possible to get the source for your incredible image? Or at
least the isosurface?

Sven

Thanks for all the comments.

Concerning the code for the image - as usual i am relucant to give an 
isosurface function without any explanation.  It is not designed for 
being understandable so i doubt it is of much use (the tutorial scenes i 
posted the link for are surely much more useful for a beginner).
