Just a little part of a scene I'm working on. 6.02e+23 points to anyone
who can correctly identify the structure.
It's radiositied using the megapatch. Looks better than the plain image,
but I find the lighting a little bland.. uniformly lit in all unshadowed
areas. This is probably because the source of the radiosity is mostly
the sphere I'm using for the clouds... pretty uniform source.
Opinions?

Industrial? Water tower? Lighthouse?
Good construction modelling, any loops/macros used?

Nice tower. Yea, I agree on the lighting. Guess? Looks like an oil refinery
tower used to heat crude oil and separate out the various chemicals, etc (ie,
kerosene, gasoline, etc..) as the crude gets hotter and rises towards the top.
Don't shoot me if I'm wrong about the process. <grin> Been a long, long time
since I learned about oil refineries. :{)

That would be called a defraction tower. And I think that the process
is as you describe.

I couldn't remember the name, but Mr. Art's idea of "defraction tower"
sounds about right. It is basically a big condensing still capable of
fractional distillation in large quantities. But I think you got it
backwards, as the crude rises(in vapor form) it cools and the lighter
components condense out. Heavy oils and tars at the bottom, and lighter
oils, gasoline, etc toward the top.

Actually, Chris was kind enough to explain how it works and his explanation makes
sense. Thanks for naming it for me though. <smile> It's interesting to see all the
little tidbits of information and trivia we all hold.

Ah! Now that makes sense. <smile> Thanks. It's cool dusting off the cobwebs of
old memories, facts, trivia.

Nah.. just good old fashioned Moray. I'm still a modeler man, though I'd
like to learn more about coding, eventually...

What I'd do is turn assumed_gamma upward (darker) to about 2.8 and adjust
radiosity brightness upward. And maybe the sky could be of higher contrast,
whiter clouds, darker cloudless areas. Not sure it would help.

It looks fine on my monitor, Bob. If it were any darker I wouldn't
be able to see it. Turn your brightness down.

Yeah but with radiosity 'brightness' turned upward a couple integers it would
be light enough again. In MegaPOV anyway. Oh and perhaps recursion downward 1
if it's already way up to begin with.

Looks like a light-house to me? No picky feelings here - I like realistic, but not the

But only a lesser god. A greater god would have capitalized the word
"God" when referring to himself.

Unless his shift and caps lock keys are busted from 3D gaming. Or have
you not noticed that Noah never capitalizes?

He'll never be able to capitalize on being a god until he learns how
to capitalize the word God.
