Finally finished modeling and texturing my most recent project, now to cook
up some scenes for it.  The airplane is a Rutan Long-EZ, and an exact copy
of my dad's.  Modeled in Rhino, didn't use any image_maps.  Lit with ml-pov
using the campus probe.  I'd like to use Mega-POV to motion blur the prop
but I don't want to sacrifice HDRI lighting.  I have never compiled POV-Ray,
but would it be more work to try and combine the sources of the two patches
or to render several copies of the prop and use alpha to combine them?

You did an amazing job in modeling this! It's really nice (although I've
never seen such a plane).

Perhaps you can use one of the nice clouds that are around for a picture
of it in the air. They could replace HDRI lighting in this case.

If it is just the propeller, what about putting several semi-transapent
copies into your scene to fake the motion blur?

Happy tracing

Amazing work there Skip! This will be my new desktop image :) Is it
difficult going from Rhino to POV-Ray?

This probably isn't the most useful comment you'll recieve but:

WOAH!
nice work :)

My only suggestion is render it from a lower camera position and a wider angle,
to make the plane look bigger, at present it looks a bit like a really nice
airfix model!

If you have not seen one of these before you are surely missing out. I would
love to have a one.

Great plane and great model.

Skip,
    That's awesome!  That's a great rendering of one of my favorite
aircraft.  Way to go.  Do you use Rhino for other purposes, or did you just
pick it up for modeling things for povray scenes?  I hope you will give it a
great setting and create an awesome scene.  I have included a scan of my
print of the Long-EZ in flight in my next post (about 100 kb); I hope it
will be a useful reference in creating the setting for it.  I noticed a few
differences between your model and the planes in the photo, and I was
wondering if yours is a newer version, or did you or your dad do some
modifications?  The color scheme at least is probably his own design, and
it's very cool.

Skip,

  Way to go on this model! Excellent rendering too. Do you have a larger
image on the web somewhere? I would love to use this as wallpaper! :)

Exporting to POV is not difficult at all.  Rhino even exports to the Moray
UDO format, which makes setting up scenes and textures pretty snappy.
Grouping objects with the same texture in layers and then exporting by
layers makes texture assigning go much faster as well.
