Hi all,
        been lurking here a while and thought I'd submit a typical first 
post. I've done a few heightfields and isosurfaces but this is my first 
proper scene.
This was half-prompted by PM 2Rings post on 22/7/2005, and also by the 
fact that I'm still waiting for sofa's. (you may recognise them as those 
from Jaime's Lightsys indoor demo scene - from which this image is 
descended thanks). I've also used Giles Tran's makeshelf macro thanks again.

I like it. The sphere tex is gorgeous. Only complaint: who on earth would
put a bookshelf there? You can't use it w/o standing on the couch, or
worse, moving it!

Yeah, very nice, I like these kind of images.

Thanks. erm...

Lifted directly from the table lamp base in Jaime's demo scene....
texture{
  pigment{rgb ReflectiveSpectrum(RS_WindowAluminum)}
  finish{metallic diffuse .4 reflection{.5,.7}}
}
It wasn't broke so I didn't fix it :-)

Me? I've not got the couch yet but the Ikea bookshelf is already there.

 > You can't use it w/o standing on the couch, or worse, moving it!

Ok I won't be able to get to the bottom 2 shelves too easily but I'm 
fairly sure I'll be able to get to the rest.

It's still a WIP as the colours are a bit washed out / wrong, and I've 
not done the TV etc, or any curtains and the carpet is not right. I also 
want to do more to the rug and get the fire working.

The carpet looked fine from one angle but from this angle it's lost all 
its texture.

Is there any easy way to do curtains or carpets?

Nice take on it.  I like the overall metallic cast and also how the real 
subject becomes the reflection

thanks.

Camera angles like the following seemed to be pushing the RSOCP brief a 
little. So I tried to just have the sphere and the chequered plane in view.

I agree .. it's the sort of shaggy carpet I picture (in an off-white -- 
no checkers) fitting nicely into Tim Nikias' 'Windows' scene

Yeah, a Greek flokati... with a long-haired hippie dude loafing on it! 
Not to forget the famous Zappa toilet poster on the wall! Really radical 
chic - 70s rule!!!

See you in Khyberspace!

Someone else noted it:

That bookshelf is frustratingly crammed against that couch. Is this 
scene a model of a room you have seen in real life?

Very nicely done living room, btw. You even got a reasonable facimile of 
  the "popcorn" ceiling material! :)

He got my wife to arrange the furniture.  That's her signature style.

I'm sitting in it. Ok there's no rug, reflective sphere, or any couches 
yet. There are however 1.5 lovely orange futons and curtains and a TV. 
The colour scheme is not entirely accurate - the walls are two tone and 
the floor carpet is cream.

I don't think there is much choice about where to put the book shelf or 
couches. Somehow I think it looks better in that corner than in front of 
the doors, windows or TV. You'll still be able to get at all the shelves 
(apart from the bottom two) when you stand infront of the couch.

Part of the reason for doing this scene was to help visualise how much 
space the sofas would take.

If any of you (or your wife :-P Jim) have any better suggestions for 
where to put the DVD and video covered bookshelf let me know. 
(Suggestions that don't involve buying a bigger house - only just moved 
into this one)

Thanks. I wasn't sure how to do a swirly artex ceiling so I settled for 
a generic textured ceiling. I think I'd probably prefer a plain one 
anyway....

Eventually some day no newbies will ever again come to povray, as the 
standard for quality RSOCP will be unreachable in anyone's  "first post" .

NICE!!!

Really well done initiation post!

Thanks I'll take that as an entertainingly oblique complement. I suppose 
my offering is one of the least minimalistic RSOCPs that I've seen. Ah 
well there's a new IRTC topic soon.

If people keep writing good docs and providing example scenes and 
tutorials, POV should keep getting new recruits.

That's what I was thinking.  When my post #300 is surpassed by others'
"first posts" (this one, definitely, as well as a few others recently), it
might be time to find a new hobby.

Nah.  I'm addicted.

Anyway, great post, absolutely!
