Hi,

  My name is Mike and I am 8 1/2 years old. I made this picture with help
from my uncle Ken. I did not want to show it like this but uncle Ken said
the people here are nice and would have a nice laugh when they saw it.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I had fun making it. I am going to have a
poster made from this picture to take to school with me.


 Bye,

 Mike Tyler


A note from uncle Ken:

 This will teach my brother to drop his kid off on me unexpectedly for
the day. Mike is now so firmly hooked on Pov daddy won't be able to
get near his computer for a month. There is a copy of Pov-Ray waiting
for him in his email today (Snicker). I wonder if raytracing ability is
heriditary ? Hmmm ...

Wow! It's very nice... certainly much nicer than anything I ever made at the
age of 8 1/2. Especially considering that I didn't have a computer when I was
8 1/2.

It's nicer than a lot of stuff I make now, to tell the truth :)

Hi Mike,

This is one really cool picture.  I love the airplane, specially the blue
checkered color.  Be careful, though, don't fly it too near to that silver moon.
The guy up there looks kind of grumpy.

Way Cool, Mike.  When I showed POV to may 8 year old daughter, she said "Can I
make a Horse"?  And that was as far as we got.

Hi, Mike! This looks like fun. Rudolph (?) looks especially crazy in this
shot. I wish my first image had been so good.

A note to Ken: I cetainly sense talent here. Hereditary or not - does it
really matter?

Just a quick note to let you all know that Mike was totaly jazzed by
the couple of responses he got to read before he had to leave. I will
forward all responses to this thread to him so that he won't miss them.
For some reason Dad's response to Mike new found interest and popularity
was a little less enthusiastic. He never liked to share his toys when
I grew up with him so I'm not surprised at his response when his computor
time looks to be imminently threatened by an 8 1/2 year old offspring.
  When Mike left I could have sworn I heard him say to himself something
about cones and bungee sticks. I believe he is hooked and it may last at
least as long as it takes him to figure out how to use cones as bungee
sticks. :)


Quick side note:

  I am a little depressed/surprised that not one of you have picked up
on the refective sphere hovering over a checkered plane as his first
ratracing image. It was done somewhat at my urging. Oh well when asked
a few years from now what his first image was Mike will have a valid
response ready for the inquirer.

I'd like to comment that I DID in fact pick up on the Mirrored sphere
over checkered plane motif... I was just reading through the responses
to see if anyone else had picked it up before I left the 10th message on
the topic.  I am quite surprised myself.

I wish I had an Uncle like you...then again, my dad was pretty cutting

My Dad still manages to keep me on my toes when we are together. It would
certainly have been different had we the vast resources available to
the present day generation. Kids these days just don't know how lucky
they really are to have been born in this time period and it's only going
to get better with the passage of time.

  That is until all of the earths resources run out and the dark times
of humanity return us to a more earth/nature based society.

This is a really good one!

It's great to see a "first" that is not either some planet (usually with
some atempt at rings) hanging in space or some reflecting objects hovering
over a checkered plane (doh!) ;-)

I like the usage of the fog, it makes the whole thing look sort of
surrealistic.

Stick to it Mike!
Just don't ever talk to your uncle about "indentation" and instead learn the
proper way right from the beginning: Indent! Indent! Indent, and .... eeeh,
Indent! :c)
(Oh No! Now the newsgroup is being used for indoctrination of minors! Get

Hi Mike!

Uncle Ken showed you how make a good raytraced picture! He was so good
that I think I will drop off my two boys unexpectedly at him too for a
day so that they can learn how to raytrace!!

P.S.: I love that plane!

Good work Mike

The fog is really nice and gives the picture some
depth.

Keep it up.

PS:  Bryan, Uncle Ken knows how to do horses,
maybe you should drop your kids of round there one
day.

We should lock us up in great underground city complexes, live on something we
can grow underground, and leave the nature to care for itself, try and restore
mush of it to original state. (Idea stolen from H.P. Lovecraft)

About "wish I had an uncle like you", the first time MY uncle showed me
something was when he took me to his university and made a hologram with
cool lazers and all. I was thrilled.

However, I still think it would have been better had he shown me POV.
The problem is that is was 14 years ago so I don't think there WAS pov.
That's just too bad. 

Anyway, I glad to hear that the Tyler Raytracing Gene is dominant and I
hope that in time it will pass on to your own siblings... ;)
