Its a little abstract... but I like the atmosphere in this one...

Two layer of fog... a lot of radiosity and photons... :)


Render time 11min 34 Sec on a Celeron 566.

There's some serious colour banding there. You need to use better colour reduction, or
non at
all. Maybe try saving as jpeg's?

The pic would look better IMHO with scattering media instead of fog.. that way the
'thing'
would cast shadows through it.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

Nice. I think the _floor_ would look better if the crackle was
inverted.

Hehe... yeah it does kinda look like a virus.  I never thought of that.

jpeg compressed as requested.

There is slight banding in the original anyway I think it may be the objects
colors reflecting off the fog.

PS I should have said WIP in my original post.

Hmmm.. I think I need an eye-test. The first time the cells looked
like depressions. Now, on rechecking, they look raised and OK. I guess
the lighting confuses the eye.

Yeah I think thats one thing about the image I like.  :)

Its a pity I can't seem to get rid of the banding effect.

I tried to re-render at a higher resolution and the banding was worse.
Tried with and without radiosity and photons with little or no difference to
the banding.  Tried saving in other file formats as well but it seems to be
at the rendering stage.

I seem to have that problem with some of my images now. I was going through
my collection and found a lot.  Does anyone know of a good way to reduce
this?

I hadn't noticed it before because I have in the past been looking at the
models and textures.

Aaron

Are you running your machine in 16-bit and taking screencaps? This may 
cause it. You should either run in 24- or 32-bit or take the actual output 
files from POV instead. The colouring takes a rapid plunge of 15 or so RGB 
units when I took a look in Paint Shop Pro which means it's getting 
16-bittized at some stage. (if 16-bittized is even a word :-) )

Sure hope this helps and BTW, when I first saw this image it looked like 
some kind of squid or octopus in water. Good job.

I like what's going on there. I did something vaguely similar to one of your
shapes with an isosurfaces that had several morphing functions, one of which
was 3d noise. What was your approach?
best,
Dennis

fyi: I have four works at http://www.dennismiller.neu.edu/animation.html but
not the one I'm referring to. Second Thoughts uses morphing isos, however.

Very nice concept... I like the colours too. I'd certainly be interested to
see what the animation looks like...

Andrew.

PS. What's with the speckly bits? Is that deliberate, or is it some kind of
render artifact?
