This image was created using POV ray and rendered in POV ray. It uses a nice
Chrome material on mostof the objects. I used pictures of Stone henge to
make stone henge and then i added a previouse work (the flubber character)
which was made using meta balls. It took forever to render at this
resolution because of the chrome textures...but it all payed off..
Please tell me what you think

Oh by the way...It took about 30 min to render on my PC... 50 mgz celeron,
(400 overclocked) and it was converted to Jpeg by adobe photoshop.

30 minutes is the forever it took to render? <THWAP!>
Interesting piece, would be more interesting with a bit of a ground
texture and a sky though. And of course would take much longer to
render, but I think it'd be worth it.

I like it. However because of the odd subject it would be hard to figure out
what you were looking at without a description. I also like the chrome texture,
makes the scene more surreal. Also how did you make those stone pieces
completely in pov-ray?

I'll verify that. This was one of the lengthiest d/l's of a Jpg I've
ever gotten here. Think one of the others was that mercury liquid/solid
image posted a while back.
At least this looked pretty good ;) so I won't complain.
2400 baud modem?! Upgrade! But unless you have guarantee of a good phone
connection only get a 33.6K modem, I have a V.90 (upgraded from 56K to
no avail) here doing 26.4K and d/l's from the newsgroups are even slower
at only 0.1K, sometimes less sometimes more.

Just kidding, guy! I guess I should have put a winking smiley ;-) to tip you
off. In truth, I'm using a TCI cable modem.

Dang, I need one too. Got a spare lying around there? Someone gave me a
link to a "streaming" video rendered animation (really great "Bunny..."
thing forgot its full name already) that looked like what bandwidth
would be in graph form. I could tell intermittently how good it must be
but that only adds to the frustration. I will definately look into this
connection speed of mine further. I should have about 50K, I know one
other computer with a 50K connection, parents friends. I don't know of
too many people with computers, much less a v.90 or 56K modem, and
certainly no ISDN, etc. So that's all I have to go on.

Hmm, lower the fog a bit and it'll be better... and the meta flubber can move a
bit further down as well, it takes to much space as it is..
A nice concept.

I have one that has been rendering since '97 and it's still not done.
Course I don't have it rendering all of the time but it still has
the distinction of never having made it to the end.

Hmm, if I should now choose to finish a trace I abandoned somewhere in May
'97, will I get a medal? Nah, I'll wait a month and then declare my 2-year
render finished :)

I got sick of pix using media tying up my computer, so I dug my old 486-33
out of the closet. The pic it is rendering now is flying along at about one
pixel per minute. The final image (640*480) will take about 200 days to
render !!!!!

Using reverse psychology on yourself? Thinking maybe you'll see a vast
improvement between the two computers, that sort of thing? ;)

I just love Linux....
I actually can leave a render in background for all that time, and I don't have
to bother..
oh, yes, it's niced, andd I know I risk a crash to ruin it all (continue trace
:-).
The most important fact for me now is to keep the renders on a low memory
consumption rate... nothing extreme there... but media can do well...

ok. as a newbie to another then..
I'm not many weeks into my second try of linux, and my only real tips are...
take you time, try things, and have backups of EVERYTHING.
(yep, i've made a fool of myself some times... messed in the wrong config and so
on...)
