Hi again,

Now that I have done my first pict post, I can send some older images.  8-p

I did crayon.jpg two month ago, I didn't know where I was going, I just 
wanted to see if I could model a pencil, it resulted not that realistic 
but quite pleasant still (to me :-). I made the prints on the side with 
two height fields to make it more real than just a flat image map. An 
other funny thing is that the floor is of a uniform color, with just a 
normal section (see below). The scene was rendered with photons, area 
light and a bit of focal bluring.

   texture {
     pigment { color rgb <1.0, 0.8, 0.6> }
     finish { reflection 0.3 }
     normal {
       average
       normal_map {
         [1.0 cells]
         [1.0 granite scale 0.5]
       }
     }
   }

The space station was inspired from a picture of a space station 
inspired by the station of the movie "2001 a space odyssee", resulting 
in something that is not quite the original. I put the logo of my 
company on it, because I was at work when I did it. The planet and 
starfield (random spheres, because I also did an animation of this 
scene) are a bit raw and still some more work.

Comments and advices welcome,

JC

Hi!

> I did crayon.jpg two month ago
Nice image, but perhaps a little warmer colors would do it good? Perhaps
making one of the light sources a little more red, or use radiosity+a
warm colored sky_sphere. That's just my taste though, the floor is
great!

>because I was at work when I did it.
In you lunchbreak I hope? =)
The model is great, the planet could need a more complex texture though,
perhaps an image_map?

Yes, you're right I think, I need to work on color balance and playing 
with lighting. I usually just use basic rgb 1.0 lights.  :-)
