Just a doodle while thinking about changing an avatar.
Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?

Hmm... Difficult to say... I like the concept in itself. It has a rather
strong yin-yang content. What I find disturbing though, are the sharp
boundaries between states (night/day; black/white). In a boudhistic sense
(not that I know much about boudhism) I would expect smoother transitions
and a sense of revolution (the wheel) more pronounced...

Thanks Thomas,
I think that too, that there should be a merge between the day and night
sky but how to reflect that in the ground? I think that I will try a repeating
image map texture on the plane. With the image map split into night/day/night.

It *is* allowed to put your question and the image in the same post.

Thank you but I wish someone would tell my updated news reader that ;)
Why do s/w houses fix what's not broke? $?$?$?$?$
I feel a rant coming on. Anyway the next image will see if it works.

Your news reader doesn't allow you to embed an attachment to the post
you are making? What does it do if you want to embed more than one
attachment (not even a rare occurrence in this newsgroup, as often
people will attach two or more images to the same post)? If you want to
attach 10 small images to your post, will it create 10 different
threads? That would be horrendous.
Perhaps a change to a better news reader could be in place, then.

It does but the default setting is to split attachments into sections. I thought
that I had configured it correctly but obviously not :(
When I bought this laptop I could not transfer the old messages (OT mostly) to
the new Free Agent so I bought the full version, (how much money do we spend to
run a piece of free software?) and it has more settings and features than you
can shake a stick at. I've changed the default settings now and later will try
to post a couple of images together. If they are worth posting.

You might try a 'splicing' border with fragments of the images
interleaved to produce the transition.
Or...rather than a graded transition, just some sort of framing. I
think the blunt edges abutted is part of the problem.

I'm not too sure what you mean, Jim.
I'm working on the sky first, rewriting the code for the stars. {I'm using a
modeller and having 3000 stars as 3000 objects was slowing it down a bit. (Beta
testing and you have to push the limits :)} After getting the day sky to blend
in with the night sky I'll look at the plane.
So how would I splice the images on the floor? I'm thinking along the lines of
your mosaic table and can't imagine how it could be done.
The framing is a good idea as well especially since the North - South faces
don't match up.

I tried to reply to your post last night Stephen, but for whatever reason,
my newsreader, (OE), just wouldn't connect to the povray server. This isn't
new, every Sunday night, I can't connect for some reason. It seems to be
doing this for around 2 to 3 hours at a time. Anyone else getting this using
a newsreader? (The main website groups show ok).
Anyway, what I wanted to ask is where do you get that buddha model from? I
want to have a play... ;)
I agree that there should be some kind of 'fade-in/fade-out' tranquility
in your image somewhere. I think that would make it with the concept you
have, (which I like).

Just a quick reply before going for something to eat. (I've just driven up to
Glasgow)
I found the Buddha at
http://www.3dvia.com/
You will have to register and search for Budda.

I'm working on it but have some slight problems, then I will work on the floor.
It is just a diversion from the my Tina Chep animation and I don't want to spend
too much time on it.

Yes, happens once in a while, whatever the day or the hour by the way.

Could you do a fade that would take up, say, 1/4 of each image?

The green status looks much more 3D to me than the gold one in this
setting. The scene really looks kind of ... flat, overall.

Bravo! as far as the ground is concerned, that looks much better. Could you
do the same for the background?

Sorry I never got back to this, finally forced myself to take a break
from work and relax a bit. I guess I didn't describe what I meant very
well.
Here are two examples of what I meant for posible transitions that are
"spliced" as I tried to describe it rather than a smooth fade. (I think
the smooth fade that Thomas suggested and you have managed so far is
quite effective, btw.) Each of these examples is arrived at differently
and probably rather crudely but my larger point is that there is not a
single answer to either look or method to what I meant. I am just
popping an image_map in to stand for the night v day backgrounds you
have. If you are rendering them directly of course, each of the methods
I use here could be resolved into a pigment_pattern which could then be
used with MegaPOV's camera pigment.
I'll put the SDL on p.b.scene-files
As for the floor I'll noodle on it a bit further

Hmmm... Nice. I like the first one better. Perhaps a more symbolic
splice tho? Little 8-fold wheels or Tao-shape spirals?

I prefer the top one. The bottom one looks to "geometric"...

I didn't. I downloaded the 3ds format ;)
http://www.3dvia.com/MichelAngelo/models/F516D9EBFDCFE1F3
Click "download" and select.
Original 3ds File (1.17 MB)
Then register to download.

Forgive my ignorance, what program did you use to convert from 3ds. Is it
free/open source I currently only know of one shareware program, and I am not
particularly keen on using it since it goes against my hippie philosophy of
promoting open source.

I guess you're not running Windows; otherwise I could recommend - without
thinking - two free tools that do both 3ds import and POV export: Wings 3D and
PoseRay.
For Linux, you may want to try the Wine / PoseRay combo. PoseRay claims to be
running perfectly fine on Wine. Cheers!

That is three of us voting for PoseRay, which can be run under Wine, if you are
using Linux. There is no mention of a licence that I can find.

And this old hippy wants to know what's wrong with "open source"?
