Hi,

Here's my newest object! Pure POV coding.. I'm not finished but this is
presentable.. I started in the christmas holiday and used many hours since
then. Now I'm tired of modelling so I have begun to experiment with
different lights, among those radiosity but this image only uses
pointlights. It renders much quicker: 23 minutes with high AA quality, on an
AMD 1 ghz.. The rad-light can look very good too, but takes at least 15
hours...

The model itself, with only 1 pointlight and no AA, parse and render in 7
seconds, 640*480.

Comments?  :o)

Regards,
Hugo

Where's the ordering form?

I nice Danish model. Very photorealistic too! And of course the POV-Ray
details are great. :D

Keep up the good modeling work!

Pure POV coding? You made it very smooth for primitives! Nice modelling.
There's a blank key in there...

Really good modelling and texturing. Is it meant to be wireless?

You may order right here!  :o)   Well, sometimes I think it would be nice if
there was a way to earn a bit of money from this kind of art.. Many of us
would probably like that, eh? But I might release the source code in the
tradition of pov.. When the keyboard is finished.

Thanks! Realism is my aim. I used my own keyboard as reference (surprised?)
but with some modifications.. Lighting is also very important.. I tried a
few setups, including IndoorHQ-radiosity that comes with Pov3.5 and that
looks great but takes 15 hours, and that was before all the keys were
modelled.. Maybe I'll find a way to reduce that rendertime.

Yes, a blank key.  :o)  Cause I haven't modelled the sign yet.. But all the
details would look better if I render in double resolution and resize 50%
after that, even though I use very good AA... I don't know why this is so?

The keys are made entirely of triangles (result is mesh2) but constructed
within POV by 6 macros I wrote.. The macros were flexible enough to form all
the key-sizes, even the "return" key with some bad tricks.. So they render
quick, parses quick, and actually takes little memory, because the macros
don't waste too many triangles.. As you can hear I'm a liiiitle proud of
this.  :o)  I hope to make a set of flexible triangle macros, of general
use, to allow many kind of shapes.. I have worked on some ideas, but we will
see..

Well, my own keyboard is wireless but I haven't decided yet.  :o)
Thanks for all your comments so far ! !

Source code? Art? Pov? Whaaatt? Isn't this a real POV-official-keyboard? I want my
POV-official-keyboard NOW!
Er..sorry :)

AA is a good thing, but eats tiny details.

Oh. Did you use some kind of spline sweeping?

Well done wires and cables add so much to the realism.

Really well done. I'm looking forward to seeing your mesh creation macros.

Nice floor texture:-)

..what is the key between the left shift and the 'z'?
