I managed to create a printer in POV-Ray that can print pictures...

I tried to print my first POV-Ray image with varius print quality settings.
The results are the attached images.

The printer is 100% POV-Script (no hardware), so it can't print on paper,
but it's interesting nonetheless! ;-)

Greetings,

Rune

Oops! - sorry for the relative big file sizes.

Jpeg really don't like these images...

Hey!  I made something similar once.
I took a picture and added a filtering hexagon layer to it (rgbf <1,0,1,1>,
rgb <1,1,0,1>, rgb <0,1,1,1>)
The smaller the hexagon-pattern, the better the quality.
But it always looked much darker than the original image.
Seems like you have the same problem...

This method is different. I have dots of 4 different colors (cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black). The background is white. As in real prints the dots have
different sizes. Smaller dots means more white, while bigger dots means more
of the color.

Actually the color prints did not turn out as interesting as I had hoped. It
is much more interesting to look at a print that uses black dots only,
because the effect is much more clear. See attached image.

No I don't! :-)

Ingenious.  Creative ingenuity at that.
I sense a post process possibility here.

This looks really interesting, hope you're going to share the
method you used.  I particularly like the black and white version
that you posted further down.

This would make an interesting post_process filter...

I made it using MegaPOV. It can take any image as input and give it that
print look. Although, if you want a color print, you need to use another
program to split the input image into four "channels" (cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black).

The basic method I used I have already shared with you before - it's my
Pattern Control Trick in action again! :-)

You can get it here:
http://rsj.mobilixnet.dk/3d/goodies/goodies.html

Only difference is that I used an image_pattern instead of a regular
pattern, and I used a layered texture because I needed separate textures for
the four colors.

If anybody needs more help, feel free to ask, and I'll go into more details.

Me too.
