Hello!
My motivation was to take a really simple LEGO set and make a nice render
scene
of it.
Something you always imagined as child when you played with these $4,50 Set.
I made my decision for the 'Sea Hunter Set 6555' which isnt really an
exciting set but i bought it some time ago because i love to dive myself.
Too bad i wasnt able to get a shark model so I concentrated on the treasure
theme.
For those who are interested in the How-To:
I built this model with ML-Cad ( http://www.lm-software.com/mlcad/ )
converted it with LGEO and L3P to POVRay.
Then i fiddled around for several days to add the lighning, changed the
scene several times, and added a few new objects to make it more real.
I took a few picture while I was advancing creating the scene:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8555
In the end my Celeron 933 needed one hour to render the scene. This is one
of my first tries on POVRay.
I hope you like it. Any comments highly appreciated ;).
Carsten

The air bubbles really add a lot to it, I like how the scale of things seems
at once large and small (LEGO pieces, air bubbles together).
The beam for the flashlight might be able to be moved inside the housing of
it so it starts out more than a point, but it looks good already.

Hello Gary,
> wow! love the water and bubbles, the light from his flashlight looks great
> too!
Thank you very much. I wrote the function for the bubbles myself. It is just
a random function.
Something like
#declare S = seed(0);
#declare nr=1;
#while(nr < 80)
sphere{<-10+ rand(S)*(nr/10),
-70-nr^0.85,
100+ rand(S)*6-3 >,
//Size
(rand(S))^(200/nr)+1 pigment{rgbf <1,1,1,1>}
finish{reflection 0.2}interior{ior 0.8}}
#declare nr = nr+1;
#end
and used 4 of these for bigger and small bubbles.
The flashlight is a matrixlight and a spitlight together. I placed a small
glowing orb with high ambent inside the hand lamp transparent part to
let it look almost real. i know the light cone isn't perfect.. but hey ..
its LEGO ;)).
> what texture did you use for the coins?
Actually i didnt use a texture. I used the new coins from the LDraw update
that has been released yesterday.
The gold itself is part of the LGEO textures.

Thank you very much.
Yes.. i thought this too... but i didnt know how to do it without breaking
the light by the object's media itself.
Greetings

I'm sure you meant spotlight and not spitlight (those don't shine very well
:-))
You should be able to make the lens ("glowing orb") a looks_like within the
light_source so that the light location could then be behind or inside.
