Hi people,

Man, mpov's radiosity is awesome!!

High counts(600) and low error bounds(0.02), and one concrete image map.

render times- around 4 1/2 hrs for each, i think. Sorry, i rarely keep
the stats once the pic's done...
at 390x249 (images are shown at original size)

Wow, these are realistic! Though, I have to admit some of that comes from the
image_map, you cheater. ;)

My first thought - but is it a fair one (even with a smiley)? If the
criteria is to achieve a realistic image, then it succeeds. It's only
cheating if the criteria is something else or if the image map compromises
some other aspect of the image.

Sure, i know what you mean. Ideally i could have created the concrete texture
as a procedural, but it's just a test image and , i tell you, it takes a
helluva lot less time looking through a image library than creating a new
texture from scratch. It's funny how pov lets you get really stuck into
creating models, textures, processes etc that will work in as many situations
as possible, but when it comes down to it, more often than not your'e just
trying to create an image. The image map integrity starts to break down in
these pics would start to fall over if the camera was any closer, but it works
for what i've chosen to do with it. (really, i slapped it on with uv_mapping
and it looked great, so that was the end of it)

That can be argued either way, but I was being facetious.

No prob. I could have made the lettering on the boxcars text objects and
cubic_spline prisms. Let's get real. :)

You could also use text objects and prisms with the "object" pattern...

Have you seen Fight Club on dvd.  Image based rendering can produce spectacular
results.  Usually looks much more realistic than that stuff they did in "The Phantom
Menace".

Looks great. Best pov radiosity so far.

What is this thing about cheating? Are there some rules that specify
recommended procedures for creating images to be posted here? I
always thought that if even a part of the image was rendered with pov
it would be kewl to post it here. No matter how Photoshopped, image
mapped and composited.

Looks nice, i did a radiosity render with similar settings (error bound =
0.01, count = 180) with a slightly more comlex scene recently, and had to
cancel it after rendering more than a day and only finishing about 1/4 of
the final pass and taking far more memory than i have (128 Mb)

These are the kind of images that really makes those 3DS people who say
that povray is only a toy to shut up.
