I have changed the "landscape" a little.
Now it is made with only two isosurfaces.
The surface beneath the "hoses" has trails
that are made with "negative blobbing".
(I.e. "Hoses" with a little greater radius
has been subtracted from the surface.)
I gave the hoses a little magenta tint to
make them stand out a little from the
surface beneath.
To speed up the rendering I made the main
light source shadowless too.
Antialiasing was very slow so I rendered
the image twice the size that it is now
and then used an image editor program to
scale down the image (bicubic resampling).
I hope you like it.

Nice image, it's very smooth. Looks like some sort of smooth cloth. The
lighting and colors are great, too. I like it a lot better than the previous
version.

It shows. You need more samples than that to create smooth lines, and the
jagged edges are definitely hurting the smoothness of this image. I
recommend you try AA method 2 for your final render.

By the way, using AA method 1 with +R2 (2x2 samples) and, say, +A0.2 or so,
would have created the same effect in a lesser amount of time, since it's
just like doing a render at twice the size, only pixels which don't need the
AA aren't supersampled.
Well, actually, I guess that's not entirely true, since it would have to
take 4 *additional* samples per pixel, for a total of 5 samples per AA'ed
pixel. But after factoring in the number of pixels which would *not* have to
be supersampled, there's probably more gained than lost. Either way, +A0.0
+R2 would have done the same thing you did without the need for resizing
afterwards.

I like that effect. How do you make the "hose" isosurface?

Hi all,
There is something weird with the image. Even though I have the speakers all
cranked up, I cannot hear Marble Madness tunes. ;-)
Great pic.

Tank you all for positive comments and suggestion.
I have now started a new rendering with the ant-
aliasing method that Slime suggested. (It seems
that I should take a closer look at the anti-alias
section in the manual.)
Now I am a little sad because I must have missed
many "classic" arcade games (like marble madness).
It looks fun to play !

If you don't already know how to do this, then you
can find some info about about how to do it here:
http://news.povray.org/povray.general/20681
> How do you make the "hose" isosurface?
I will try to find time to clean up the code and
post it somewhere.
In the meantime it could be useful to have a look
at the code for this image:
http://home.no/t-o-k/povray/Isosurface-Cubic_Space_Division.jpg
You can find the sourcecode for it at this page:
http://home.no/t-o-k/povray
(The way the "hose" isosurface is made, is not very
different from the way the "bars" are made in that
image.)

Thanks Mark,
Now the music is playing and it feels much better :-)
It would be great to have such a game with Pov rendered graphics and pseudo
real-time reflections. Don't you think so?
Regarding the image, the hoses are quite nice. I would rather use some other
texture for the ball (chrome?), and maybe I would increase its diameter a
little too.

Anyone with a semi-recent computer (5-7 years old) can play Marble
Madness, if they don't mind 'pirating' it. You can get a Nintendo
emulator and find a copy of Marble Madness almost anywhere on the 'net.
Nice image, by the way. I like how you sunk the hoses into the surface
like that.

Dave, I have now put the sourcecode together with a
larger version of the image onto the povray page at
my website:
http://home.no/t-o-k/povray
If you have any more questions, then please ask.

Thanks.
I was figuring it out pretty well from your "cubic space division" code
(nice image btw), but this should help.
I really like the way you organize your code; I find it easy to learn from.

I just went googling for more info. And found some
relevant pages. But it seems that I will need one or
more ROM images. I'll google some more...

This is going a little off-topic.... but you can try searching for
"marblemadness.zip" & "nes" at google to find it.
Happy gaming :)
