Some time ago, I posted a picture of my own watch.
Here is a news version rendered with Mark Gordon's Linux compilation of
Linux : Great thanks to him.
Once the I/O bugs are fixed, it could be a very near official version
for Linux. But that's up to pov-team to decide.

 I've really enjoyed watching the evolution of this watch. Got a spiffy
new background, the band is different (?), it is in really sharp focus
and it screams "hey I'm real ! ". I do miss that little droplet on the
watch crystal though. I knew what it was right away and enjoyed listening
to people trying to figure out what it was. Very nice.

What do you do for your next trick ?

Ken has said nearly everything.  When you showed me your first attempt
over a year ago I was quite knocked out by it and now it seems even
more realistic.  I like the dramatic closeness of the image and the
fact that it is lying on that steel decking (great material! how about
letting us peep at the code for that?)  I am not so sure about the
small trace of oil/water on the left of the watch. It doesn't convince
me and the strap texture seems rather wooden.  But I wish I had
created it - congratulations!

Hey, one of the best close-ups I've seen.

  Just out of curiosity: What are those I/O bugs you're talking about?
I seem to remember that I squashed the last one a couple of weeks
ago. Seriously: Are there any IO bugs left in Mark's version?
Or did I miss some news discussion?

Thrilled to have seen this. Thanks for the opportunity, Fabien.

I think I am going to drop the watch (virtually of course) and go onto
something else. I had to stop "raytracing" for a few months, and worked with
the watch script to be up to it again : I forgot how messy an uncommented
script can be !

Cheers !

The last time I read one of Mark's post, it was about Input and Ouput bugs. That
was some time ago and they may be fixed by now.
I guess I'd better check at the programming forum.

After seeing that, I stared about 5 seconds at the screen
waiting for the second's hand to tick....

Great.

Is the Background a bumpmap or is it for real?

Thanks for the comments.

The background are tiling height_fields made with a picture done with
Rhino, then exported to the EPS format, then to TGA format.
