Here is the final (at least for this year :) version
of 'Capriccio' image. I painted boats, modified clouds
and some textures.
In order to render image you have to download files
from p.b.scene-files (subject 'Capriccio20') then update
those files by files from subject 'Capriccio 1/3...'

Thanks a lot to everyone who participated in this project
(in chronological order):
Christoph Hormann
Matti Karnaattu
Bob Hughes
Jim Charter
Txemi Jendrix
Ib Rasmussen
Peter Hertel

It took long time but we did it :)

I thought the project was a nice idea.

Thanks for seeing it through.

Good job!

I had very little to do with this really.  :-)  So... three cheers to the
rest of you!

Turned out pretty good. Shows ability to mimic real-life things in a 3D to
2D and back to 3D way (wait... and again 2D).

Not sure if it should ever be muddied up like the old painting it's copied
from, but that could be something to do as post-processing or image map
effects. Water might be too clear though. Seems like that was all mentioned
before.

Imho, some parts are to bright / with to low contrast, maybe image would 
look better with higher assumed_gamma (or with little less light comming 
from skysphere)?

Ofcourse this image should be rendered in 1600x1200 imho :)

Is there any povray.org account at Zazzle?
We could render this image for it.
I have prepared high resolution image maps for houses. But I
don't know if it's a good idea to upload it to p-b.scene-files.
Those files will take a lot of space. The maps for one house in
JPEG format will occupy about 500K.

Maybe this is because clouds have ambient finish.
I couldn't achieve desired colors with diffuse finish.

Turned out nice, sadly i did not have much time recently to participate. 
  A few things that could still be improved probably:

- the sails could use some dirt
- the contrast between the reddish buildings in the foreground and the 
gray church in the back is quite striking
- the texture of the boats

Same as clothings of peoples there.

I agree image is stunning :) 
But still it has a little artificial-look, imho mostly due to low-contrast 
and some textures still beeing too "clear" (especialy with low contrast)

of the very nicest pictured rendered this year.

You are right. The cathedral is a bit bright and white
if you compare it to the original painting:

> - the texture of the boats

I thought that we have too many image maps already and
decided to use procedural textures instead of UV mapping.
I've created very simplified versions of your wood
textures which I used as a reference :)

Congratulation for this great picture.

Is there any chance to have a "Making of Capriccio" website in the 
future. It would be a great resource for people who want similar projects...

So long,

I was a bit worried, that you had given up on the project, and it was 
stranded like the other colaborative projects, I have participated in, 
but I see that you have been quietly working away on the finishing details.
The result is great - Hall of Fame, make room for a new entry :-)

Wonder how long it took Marlow to do the original.

I believe the first advise should be: If you are going to start a 
colaborative project on the internet, be prepared to do most of the work 
yourself.

This is the third project I have participated in, and the first that 
have produced a result. I think that the main reasons that this project 
succeeded was:
- the goal of the project was clearly defined from the start. There was 
no discussions of what the scene should look like, or what objects 
needed to be modelled.
- Gena was willing and able to model all the stuff that nobody else 
volunteered to do.

This is a good idea. We could place there all discussions involved into 
creation process, all intermediate images and full size image maps. I
hope that those postings in this newsgroup are still available.
Unfortunately right now I don't have enough time and other resources 
(space for such homepage). Maybe in the future...

AFAIK the postings don't expire in this newsgroup.
