I used POV's trace function to apply my blobs to the surface of some objects.
The orange juice is a very turbulent media (turbulence set to 20), everything
else is modelled pretty simply.

Render times: 17 hours for the plastic object (very high radiosity and blur
quality settings), 25 minutes for the glass of juice!

I'm working on making the orange juice into a proper scene, possibly as a frozen
moment, so all suggestions are welcome :)

Mmmmmmm I'm suddenly getting thirsty.
May be an ice cube?

this plastic object is really something! If I were you, I'd rerender the
thing and put it for sale as a poster at zazzle. but maybe that's just my
personal taste.

Good stuff!

apache

Cool thanks! I've been thinking about maybe doing a zazzle render of something,
but didn't really think any of my pictures were good enough!

I'm thinking of using this object as a kind of signature on every final image I
do from now on. Then I can overhaul my website to use it prominently.

Hum.... Eye candy!!


I agree with the others: the plastic object is awesome. I would love to have 
an higher render of this on my desktop!!! Zazzle seem to be a nice idea.


Good job!

Ciao!

The lighting (and focal blur) of the link object is perfect! Would you 
mind posting your light settings?

Sure thing!

There's no light sources in that image. The radiosity is Radiosity_OutdoorHQ
from rad_def.inc. I also have assumed_gamma 1 in my global_settings. And the
lighting comes from the sky dome:

sky_sphere {
 pigment {
  #local fPow = .2;
  function {
   (
    select( y, -pow(abs(y),fPow), pow(abs(y),fPow) )
   )/2 + .5
  }
  colour_map {
   [0 rgb <3,2,1>/3]
   [.5 rgb <1,2,3>]
   [.5 rgb <3,2,1>]
   [1 rgb <1,2,3>/3]
  }
 }
}

I'm going to do a high-res version of the link object this weekend. But in
the meantime here's a few renders of the OJ.

I've added a cocktail stirrer, and removed the turbulence (because smooth OJ
traces faster!).

Next: ice cubes!
:)

Is that subsurface scattering I see in the orange juice? :)

Yes it is. It's a POV media, scattering type 5 (so that it's slightly
directional).

LOL!

I used to have a toy of a similar object, the puzzle was to dismantle it. Though
obviously it had a trick and one of the links had a break in it.

I've done it! It only took a mere 200 hours to render, but my poster is now
available on zazzle.com! The title is "The Link Lock", and you can find it
here:
http://www.zazzle.com/posters/gallery/product.asp?return%5Furl=http%3A%2F%2F
www%2Ezazzle%2Ecom%2Fposters%2Fgallery%2Fcontributor%5Flist%2Easp%3Fcontribu
tor%3DTekF%26page%3D1&product%5Fid=70016418

I'll post a small version of the image later today.

Cheers

Is there anywhere on zazzle.com that it shows us (the general public) how
many customers have purchased your image?  Even the number of viewers would
be interesting.

Post a reply to this message

Not as far as I know. I've wanted to check how many Gilles has sold! ;)

In fact, I don't seem to be able to find out how many people have viewed my
picture. Only how many have bought it (which is 0 at the moment, but it's only
been a few hours!).
