I'd say you need some medical attention.

That's pretty cool. It's like ice or a sugar scuplture dissolving... it
might look cool sitting in a pool of it's own melted solution. Did you use a
real photo for the data or did you paint it from scratch?

Hi Sam. In fact, it was YOU who inspired my experimentation with image maps
many months ago (Van Gogh?).
This is a frame from a video that I used as an image_map in a pigment that
became the function for an isosurface. I love the way the 2D video frame
extrudes into 3D space. (You should see the animated version of this.)
Anyway, good to have you back.
D.

Hi Dennis,

Why don't you post the animation in povray.binaries.animations? I would love
to see it.

Fernando.

Okay, I'll post a link as it's 50 seconds. Would AVI be okay or do you
prefer MPEG? If so, anyone recommend a good encoder?
thanks,

Let me guess ... spherical (map_type 2)
image_map used as a function for an iso-surface
and also as the pigment for that iso-surface.

	When I first figured out how to do that, I spent
all day rendering it over and over with every picture
I had on my HD.

	Cool stuff.

Pete

Just about right, but I "crossed" the image_map/pigment/function with a
sphere (function { x^2+y^2+z^2 }) and got this one.

#declare Pic = function { pigment {
  image_map {  tga concat("e:\\me\\me", str(clock*356,-3,0), ".tga")
map_type 1 interpolate 2   } } }

then

union {   isosurface {
    function {(1 - Pic(x, y, z).grey) * 0.4 +  Sphere(x, y, z)  }
    max_gradient 8
    threshold 0.9
    contained_by { sphere { 0, 0.999 } }
    no_shadow
    pigment { main_map }
     finish { ambient 0.8 specular .2 diffuse 0.7 }  }



I'm now using all sorts of other pigments as functions in place of the
sphere and morphing them [(function 1 * (1-clock)) + (function 2 * clock)]
and getting some amazing stuff.
Won't be sleeping much for the next few days!

Here's the animated version of the scene. I hope this doesn't clog your
plumbing; let me know if there are any problems.
