Here: Front view of the imperial carrier SENECA. The command tower in
the middle has been completed, but there are still many details for me
to develop for the two side bays and parts of the ship center.
Background:
The SENECA is a giant ship and capable of carrying thousands of crafts
of all sizes. Inside its two side bays the SENECA can carry a view large
cruisers (as a mobile space station) and dozens or hundreds of the
smaller ship classes. Human crew is not neccessary as these imperial
space carriers are fully automatized. In resource-rich environments such
as asteroid fields or planets, it can even automatical harvest resources
required, automatically assemble probes and smaller vessels, and launch
them on a permanent base. This way, it can also repair itself.
The SENECA does not use any chemical propulsion system which is the
reason you won't see any open parts. The SENECA uses an internal
gravitron drive. The SENECA "was" built shortly before the jumping drive
came in use and made such huge long-range ships obsolete.
Scene File:
Already now, the file is designed to be used for animations, and I did
already a brief animation of ten seconds. The disadvantage is that each
frame takes its time due the many divisions I have to do, since I do all
coding "by hand", without any 3D editor. No polygon shapes used, just
divided standard shapes.
I also did a starbase which was partially hand-coded and partially
automatically generated through a self-written computer program. I might
use that program for some parts of the two side bays of the SENECA, as
well. But not sure yet.
Further intentions: creating jumper ships and many smaller vessels.

These two attached images are simply cropped details from your preview 3
and 4 images.
Just curious -- was the "happy face" intentional?
And when I enlarge the second image I can see it's just a hatch of some
sort and shadows. But with a normal, unexpanded view it looks (to me)
like a figure of a man holding a weapon.
This is NOT a criticism of your very impressive images and I'm not
suggesting changes. But I was somewhat amused at these two details.

Hello Larry,
never mind - I welcome criticism but I also understand easily that you just
mention it because of the funny nature of your observation.
Yes, you are right, these details look truly the way you have mentioned. But
that's entirely unintentionally, and also just based on the perspective.
The "smiley" is just a superstructure meant for conferences or meetings.
What you see are the roof windows of that structure.
And the "warrior" is caused by sensor arrays and antennas inside a large
bay.
It is nice that someone looks to my images, and I am happy to receive a
first feedback. I want to invite you all to give me more of your feedbacks!
Greetings,
Sven Littkowski

I'm sorry i can't see it. i just get htm files with strange image links like
src="cid:052201c66b12$5c5167a0$16b2a8c0@SVEN" but i don't see anything.
Is this a problem on my side?
I'm curious to see the images!

SENECA.
That's impressively Imperial indeed :-)
The little reserve I can have is that you should vary slightly the color en
intensity of the bay lights.
Regarding those bays, I thonk anti-aliasing has problems with hi rgb value
pixels, which version of povray are you using?

Hi Roman,
hmmm, sounds unusual. Let me ask you: do you see here any other image file?
Nearly each topic here has an image file. If you cannot see any graphics
here, you might check your settings. Do you use an e-mail program such as
Eudora or Outlook (Express)? Or do you use a web browser?
Later,
Sven

Hi Marc,
the very first of these previews was done with the full version of POV-Ray:
v 3.6, but all other previews (02 - 07) were done with the bbeta version of
the new POV-Ray, version 3.7.0 Beta 12a.
There are none of these "spot lights" remaining when using the beta version.
On the other hand, they say that radiosity and other features are not yet
fully completed which might be the only reason why the spot lights have
disappeared.
Greetings,
Sven

Hi Sven
I'm viewing this newsgroup with a web browser (i tried FireFox and IE6). i
see all the images on this page. The one of Larry above as well. Usually i
see:
Attachments:
Download '<filename>.jpg' (<size> KB)
Preview of image '<filename>.jpg'
[image]
In your case i just see:
Attachments:
Download 'iso-8859-1' (1 KB)
(one has 4KB but that's it)
When i download this files they contain html code for example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2873" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#ede2cd background="">
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Here: Rear view of the
middle front
section of the imperial carrier SENECA containing the panoramic quarters
and a
large sensor bay. There are still many details to come, such as small
surface
structures, antennas and others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0
src="cid:054a01c66b18$9c083ad0$16b2a8c0@SVEN"
align=baseline border=0></DIV></BODY></HTML>
The src links in the image tags (if they are links at all) don't work.
Has anyone ever experienced similar problems? I have no idea what goes wrong
here.

Hello Roman,
That is a problem I am not familiar with, I am very sorry. I see all the
contents by using my e-mail program (Outlook Express) which i simply
configured to be signed up for the POV-Ray newsgroups.
