The second thing I did, the first is lost (lens on checkers plane with gold
cylinder). Took 37 hours to render (800x600). It almost made me quit POV, what
did I know about render times.

Ok, everyone's doing this so I guess I am allowed as well. This is one of my first
2-3 images (same scene anyway) and was done with POV 3.02 in oktober/november
1996. An exchange student from USA recommended POV when I needed some sort of 3d
program to visualize a house I had made in a cheap CAD program. I was very proud
of the floor - you've guessed it, it's DMFWood6. I just remember thinking "this is
a strange program - it's for visual use, still there's just text to describe the
scene!" Guess times have changed since....

You started well then, my first 20-30 (well, okay, maybe not that many)
images were not too significant, much like my first. In fact I did quite a
bit of rendering other peoples scripts at first.

Chess set complete with clock, I like it! But...
the kings and queens should be in the same file facing
each other.

Oh yaa I didn't notice that, I like playing chess but I'm afraid I don't
play it very much, thanks for pointing it out. Although I'm afraid I
can't do anything about it. I lost the source for these long ago.

My humble beginnings were a direct result of the two Pov-Ray books "Ray
Tracing Creations" and I think the other one was "Creating Worlds w/
Pov-Ray" or something similar (they are both packed away now). I also tried
to learn Ville Saari's (sp?) approach to NCC 1701, which resulted in my
first animation (simple translation/time (starship) and rotation/time
(Earth). I also learned the trick of the 12:1 ratio of camera
position-target object in creating 3D animations, and created a fly through
of the "Red Baron" realm (a flight sim).
  After that I fell did my first "original" image, was a height_field
generated from one of the few images I had on my disk (a friend had been
kind enough to share a nude, or two via email - that would get me shot these
days).
  Anyway, that was in the days of my 386 DX40! :) Gee, how times change.
  Well, that image is long gone. I was able to discover the original source
on floppy (one of the few not affected by magnetic migration), so I visited
one of the Tokyo nude sites and captured a similar image for rendering. I
was very disappointed to find it didn't come out anything like the original,
but at least what I had attempted to portray was preserved in part.
  So, you get one guess as to what those hills really are underneath that
topsoil! ;)

Yikes! Poor edit job, but I think my point came through. <G>

  I have absolutely no clue as to what you are talking about !
Make sense man.

when on my old Atari a 160*100 test-pic of a box merged with a sphere took
half an hour to render and after that I discovered that my only tga-viewing
program was runing in black/white mode only)
This was my result of a request of our math teacher to create a torus with 7
colors on it each next to each other

Very creative object. I can't possibly see how you got the sectional look
to it. Actual torii pieces, or bump_map normal?
