Hi all:
Only one moment to introduce you a new ant in town.
Still needs a lot of work, but it seemed funny to me,
so I've decided to post it.

Hi all:
an old dream of me is to produce complete landscapes automatically in
Povray. In the first step I am experimenting with "trace" and
"eval_pigment".
These powerful commands make it possible to change the probability of an
object at a certain place with accompanying imagemaps.
Two sorts of grass, trees and flowers are placed with this method.
This method isn't quite new. Tony[B] and Mick Hazelgrove have already shown
this technique.
The finished irtc entry will presumably look quite different. Please feel
free to comment it.

Norbert

I second that. Can you post the source for that, or send it to me? WOW!!!

I completely agree! The trees I don't recognize, but they look great; 
the sky is somewhat even, perhaps :)

Grass, flowers, trees, water all excelent.  Sander mentioned 
the sky, and I'll mention the horizon, it looks very sharp. 

Really good work so far.

The texture looks great, it could use a bit of colour variation,
maybe add some brownish patches.

I think it's too bumpy, but the modelling is excellent.

Amazing!  That must take a lot of memory and cpu time.  Very realistic.

Apparently the sky/horizon isn't in yet.

He's using Outlook Express.  With OE, it's very easy to accidentally post a
new post as a reply to an existing message.  If you hit "compose message"
when an existing message is selected, you'll reply to that message.  The
only way to post a new thread in OE is to click on the newsgroup name, and
then select "compose message".

Then my version of OE is very different it seems.

I have two buttons, "New Post" and "Reply Group".
If I click "New Post" it always creates a new thread regardless of what is
selected.

Outstanding!  I'm very interested in the uses of trace() and eval_pigment()
myself, but I haven't had the chance or know-how to put them to use.  I'd
love to see your code for this pic, if you wouldn't mind sending it.

Thank you, maybe I'll make a colour variation.
Anyway, here it's the texture if you want it

 material  // ant_txt
   {texture
      {pigment
         {color rgb <0.3229, 0.052067, 0.052067>}
         normal {granite , 0.5}
         finish {ambient 0.1 specular 0.8345 roughness 0.005}
      }
   }
Bye

Hi all,

First I want to apologize for posting inadvertently into Txemi Jendrix
thread.
It was my first post in a newsgroup. I actually pressed the correct buttons
in OutlookExpress but nevertheless it didn´t work. Thank for tips to Mark
Wagner. Hmm, can I delete my own postings?

Second, thanks for your kind comments. At present the picture has no sky ,
there is only the "planted" height field.
I will publish the code with the ready image at the latest. The code is so
chaotic at the moment that I would be ashamed to publish it now.
Personally I learned the use of "trace" and "eval_pigment" from Tony[B]s
"country_grass2" code posted in p.b.s.f., which is based on SamuelTs grass.

Norbert

I find the texture to be way too bumpy. Ants usually look smooth and
shiny, even though thay are quite hairy, if you look close enough.

There is also something about the legs, that make it look more spider
like than ant like. I think the last part of the leg should bend outward
instead of inward. 

I attach an image, I found on the net a couple of years ago, when I
tried to make an ant for the IMP story board.

I know, but there are a lot of kinds of ants. Maybe I'll take a look at the
compressed mesh macro made by Chris Colefax in order to make it hairy
.

I know it too. I'd been modeling the ant in hamapatch, and I wanted to
get a view of it, even though it was not finished

Thank you very much for the image. It's better than the ones I have.
