Back with it again, this time it's got a picture of itself over the mantel.
Although radiosity messes up the fire and log textures it makes the room look
so much better I can't do without it. Wonder if I could manage to cut&paste
in a non-radiosity fire/logs. I might do that.
You'll notice the fire still looks fairly jagged-point like, as someone has
noticed before. I want to get a more rolling flame look to it, maybe I can
stumble upon that later. Enjoy the warmth in the meantime.
Oh, btw, I came across a VRML file of a fireplace at a builders/sculptors
webpage. Thought maybe I had seen it before but I couldn't get the *.wrl file
to open here. For the curious: http://www.stonecarver.com/VRML/fireplace.wrl

Interesting, Bob, but I can no longer see the radiosity interaction of
the objects on the mantel and the wall. Bob, is it just me or is your
image a bit on the dark side? Maybe our gammas are set differently but I
lose a lot of detail on the right side of the picture.

I don't know that it messes it up - I think it just masks all the work
you put into the textures because of the interaction of light on them.
I'd keep the radiosity.

Hmm, okay... it looks fine to me. Fireplace fire is such a dynamic
thing, always changing. Not static like a candle flame. Also depends on
whether the fire has just been started or the logs are *really* up in
smoke from burning for an hour or more. If you think it needs
improvement then I'm curious to see what you come up with.
Ever consider adding fireplace tools in a stand?

I'm viewing it on a calibrated gamma 2.2 monitor and it looks just
right.
Maybe right adjustments will bring light

Fire and wood look really great now, only the logs seem built up by some very
painstaking person... ;-)
You changed the bricks inside the fireplace: it gives much more depth, but IMO
the corners of the single bricks are a bit to sharp now.
And: Your "image in the image" should have real recursion :-)

That crossed my mind more than once while making such a scene with bright
flames and darker surroundings.
It's just a dark scene to start with, being lit only by a very dim light
intended to be something like twilight shining in through a window or
something and the rest is only firelight which didn't brighten things up much.
The "room" is a closed box of approx. 30W by 10H by 18.5D units and fireplace
is 6W by 4H by 5D.
I might be forced to quit the fire changes (getting nowhere but worse) and
begin on the other parts, fireplace tools being one, along with spark screen
and whatever else I might change about the appearance.

Um, but that would mean an image of the same rendering and I don't have the
patience for that.

You're right, and I need to get to work on the other 1/8 of this scene file of
which that is 1/16 of the 1/8. The firebox is actually all wrong anyhow,
being only a cube with a singular brick texture and layered with soot texture
of course.
I won't post anymore of this until I have it finalized, as they say, or at
least upload it to my web page gallery.
Everyone's comments (doesn't take many) get me thinking and doing more than I
might otherwise try (so I blame you all ;-))

Excellent!
Add perhaps some ashes on the marble plate or a little wight with bucket and
scrubber :-) Wish we had one here ...

Heh, thanks. It's so 3D-computer-generated-clean though... really hate to
dirty it up. I think I might have a "wight" around here from the looks of the
mess I always have. I looked the word up and of the two definitions I'm
talking about the fighter one, but maybe you meant a hard-working blobwoman
maid.
