Povcomp is three months *past* completion. And if you believe I've
developed a sense of humor about it in that time, you are mistaken.

Seriously. I know you mean that as a compliment, but .... you know
better than that.

I'm happy with it now, but very open to suggestions in that area. If you
mean the graininess and fuzziness, these are just byproducts of low
AA/Rad settings. This is a one hour render (got to love mesh).

A visual and technical feast! Intellectually I would love to know how
this morphed out of the earlier abstractions. Obviously there are
commonalities, but I feel there is something more too it. For instance,
in the past you have expressed a,... distaste, for the idea of using
raytracing to recreate from a photo source. So there is something
almost relaxed about this one. The spatial achievements in your post
exactly previous to this looked mindbending to me compared to this. Yet
I have done enough csg in loops to know there is some nasty stuff going
on here too. I know you are into martial arts and this architecture
looks Eastern.
There is the idea of pattern. Then there is the idea of pattern in
space, tactile pattern. This raytracing, and this architecture, ( it is
based on a real architectural style I'm assuming ) seems to embody that
idea particularily well.

Ahhh yes... (I won't go there, again.)
Ok, then. You've created a very impressive structure. Do something more
with it.
If it were me, I'd add trees, probably flowering cherry, and actually put it
in a setting with some foreground and background elements. But your tastes
are often quite different from mine.
Or perhaps a semi-nude cowboy with a couple of radios...

You know whom you are telling this, don't you? ;-) It is not, believe me!
Go and submit it, please!

All mesh, no primitives.

All true. And there *is* something more. I wanted those free posters! :)
This is an improvement of my image for the original Povcomp.

This is basic "model airplane" type stuff, but it's not from a photo. I
still found a lot of room to conform to my visual tastes. The
"composition" (of you want to call it that) reflects my intended
ultimate use for the picture, a gift for the ladies at my favorite Bun
Mi/pho shop. This is how the pagoda art (typically the Temple of Heaven)
looks in those places. Works for me, because it allowed me to use all
of my RAM on the pagoda itself.

Thank you, and it's posts like that one which compelled me to post
*this* image (not my original intention...too much like public wound
licking). I have seen a lot of amateur abstract work lately and become
very dissolusioned. Because it can be so technically easy to create, I
think that abstract has become a haven for the technically
unsophisticated. My capitalist nature tells me that consideration of
such technically simple things must be *earned*. This is my payment for
your future consideration. Hence my little inside joke, calling this
post 'the difference'. I will spoil it and share that 'the difference'
is short for:
"the difference between 'can't' and 'don't want to'".
...but I bet you'd guessed that already.

No. Must be thinking of someone else.

Hey, model airplane or no, pagodas are *very* cool. Still, wouldn't hang
it on my wall.

I am lacking superlatives
How many years did you take to code this?

IMO the underneath sides of it (in shadow) need to be *much* darker. This
photo I took in sunlight and as you can see the bits in shadow are much
darker.
