This probably plays a part in everyone's silence, but I guess not as
much as the quality of the image. Stunningly photorealistic!

Uh, it's my signature file, with various membership information.

DoDRT#017, my membership number in DoD Racing Team
NIC#015, I was #15 to buy a italian motorcycle in that club

I own a Ducati Monster 600, it's name is Clemetine, and I am unsatched:
I've never owned a japanese motorcycle.
It's all just a joke ... nothing important at all. Funny that you asked.

Thank you for all the nice comments folks. I was quite pleased
with the result myself. Especially how well the lighting worked.
If you've looked through the code you might have spotted that
there's no radiosity in the render. The light comes from an
array of 100 point distributed randomly high up in the sky.
(Note this is not the same as an area light as [i believe] area
lights only affect shadows, and not normal calculations).
The thing that really cripples the render time though is the
focal blur. I wanted the image to look it's best, so I forced
it to take 256 blur samples per pixel. This means that the
blur is pretty much grain free.
It was rendered at such a high resolution (1536x2048) mainly
because I'm going to have the image turned into an A0 poster
for a friend.
Cheers,

Absolutly great!!
BTW, how can a render, started on one computer, stopped and then
continued on an other machine? (maby a question for p.n.).

Two methods:
a) By rendering with the +C command line option and carrying the source
and image files to the second machine.
b) By rendering with the +SR and +ER command line options to render only
a portion of the image at a time and stitching the results together in
an image manipulation program later. This can also be used to render on
multiple nachines simultaneously.

Here are a couple of graphs showing how the render progressed, just
in case anyone's interested...
One is a graph of lines left to render. The other is lines per day.
It should be obvious which is which :-)

Just out of interest, how did you crop it and/or scale it to fit
a landscape desktop? And by that I mean which area of the portrait
shaped original did you end up with?

As others have said, it's really nice. But, if I have to find something
to critique, it's the culms of the tulips. They don't look totally
natural to me. Looks too much just like cylinder with bumps, and not
natural one.
But I guess you left is as it is just to convince us that your pic is
not photo :-).

I think your sea sunset was one of the most photo-realistic ray-traced
pictures I have ever seen. Really nice. Became by new screen wallpaper.

Oh My Gods! That has to be one of the most photorealistic images I've ever
seen! My mother couldn't tell it wasn't a plain photograph. Well worth the
time, IMO.

Wow! I feel like I am in Holland. The focal blur is good. I have seen
movies and TV shows that have compositions of different footage. These
really need focal blur to look more real. The tulips growing outside
here will be blooming in a lot less time than it took to render that
picture...

Hi folks,
Well it's been over 7 years since I last played with POV-Ray and made my
tulips image (http://xlcus.com/povray/tulips/tulips-0600x0800.jpg), but
I've had a renewed interest just recently and would like to present the
first image I've made since I've been back... (See attachment)
The image is pure SDL. No scene placement tools, models or textures
were used. Everything is procedurally generated and positioned using SDL.
The render time was pretty harsh. The combination of radiosity and
focal blur really slowed things down and it took about 4.5 days to
render on my Athlon 5600+ with POV-Ray 3.6
Anyway, hope you like it.
Cheers,
--

Just before I opened the image, as I read the title, I had this Vija
Celmins premonition, and I paused and said to myself,..."I wonder"
Well I think you have upstaged Vija
Not only is the image fantastic, it looks like you had great fun doing it!

You "hope"?! That's the understatement of the year!
