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! ;)

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?

Oh my god no tori pieces!!
I just thought about how to make it look more interesting and then tried to
recycle the image_map as a bump_map

but it did it for my purpose

Ah, okay, that explains it then. I figured the boundary edges of the
sections to be suffering from Jpegism. It worked great then, needless to
say.

Hey, good idea!  Here's my first!  Many of you have probably seen this
around.  However, this time it's JPEG, not PNG.  I know many of you are
already cheering :)

Actually, I have _2_ versions of this!  I don't know where the other came
from, but it's almost the same with a different lens flare.  Maybe one of my
previous renders.

ALSO, someone noted that the ball was reflective, like most other first
attempts.  However, it was meant to be this way.  If you notice on beach
balls, there is a slight reflection.  That's what I was hoping to
accomplish.

Anyways. . .without further ado. . . :)

Adios!
-Ian
