  Dust attempt (Message 1 to 25 of 25)

This is my attempt at dust with pov.

The dust on the desk is a height-field.  The image
for the HF was created by pouring some flour on my
scanner's glass, to get credible distribution of
dusty areas (note for later : remove flour from scanner).

The dust on the sphere is generated by using the
MegaPov "trace" function, and placing discs at intersection
points.

Not very satisfied of the result.  Tried to use a
colormapped texture on the sphere's dust, but it looked
ugly.

Maybe I will try to put other objects and trace some flour..
.err.. dust on these.

Fabien.

All the dust here (yep, no feather duster) has more of the 'crand' sort of
look to it.  This has the good distribution of it I suppose but appears as a
coating of something other than dust, especially the ball since it has so
much opacity.
All in all a nice attempt at it anyhow.  Hate to think you had flour on a
scanner though.

Looks more like dred mud (sphere) and dried water (you know, like the stains
on the shower doors).

I've found textures of tomatoes cut in half. I can't imagine what buffoon
would put that on a scanner. Flour can be vaccumed.

Bah! Won't hurt it. Just wipe it off or vacuum it or something, it's only glass.

It's too blobbish. It looks more like they're coated with wet flour...

That's rather thick dust...if it were taller it would make good snow that's
already melting

When I was in high school I scanned a girl's face (on her request).
Made her close her pretty eyes and covered her and the scanner with my
black jacket. Would have turned out pretty well if she hadn't jiggled
throughout the whole operation.

Now that I thing of it, the whole setup must have been quite odd for a
casual bypasser :)

Bah! I've scanned my face plenty of times, eyes open... it's not that bad.

Actually, if you convert the scan to greyscale and use it as a heightfield,
the image looks quite good.

No wait it looks like someone spilled allot of dust i mean flower... Table
looks good, sort of looks like it is old and has warped its original
finish... The ball looks like something that has been sitting in a wood
shop... you definitely mastered the illusion of time :)

Hello Fabian. Perhaps making the discs into very small spheres, and shooting a
heck of a lot more rays (resulting in more spheres) you could get the effect
you are after.
