So, here are the two things I've been working on recently.  First is a basic

Been working on some CGSphere entries.  Preview of #3 (a revision to my #2,
A Clockwork Orange).  I have been having difficulties with the default
background grid disappearing without stupidly high AA settings.  Any
suggestions? (Can't change the grid)

Render at 2x or higher the resolution with more "normal" AA settings, then 
rescale (using a decent method) in a paint program.

or just use an insane AA, not sure what the guidelines for the CGSpheres
site is, but post-processing like that might not be appropriate.

my image above was rendered with +AM2 +A0.0 otherwise the checkered texture
looks horrible in the distance.

Yes, PP is allowed.  Insane doesn't work for me, I get unreal render times

I like the concept, better than most at the CGSphere's site that I saw. I
think something like a metal ring around the face of the clock, sort of
plating the orange, would look nice.

pretty good orange texture too.

Post a reply to this message

Here's mine. Bet you can't tell what it is. (Mainly due to the poor 
quality of the rendering.)

Obviously, I am nowhere near 1337 enough to make this up all by myself. 
It's actually done with POV-Tree and Tom Tree. It *still* doesn't look 
right. (A damn site better than my own algorithm, but it still looks 
wrong. In particular, the needles differ vastly in size.)

This is actually a scaled down version of an image rendered at about 
2,000 pixels square. Took slightly less than 1 hour to render on an AMD 
Athlon64 in 32-bit mode. It renders faster without radiosity - but then 
the lighting looks *very* weird.

If I ever finish it, it's going to go on Zazzle. The plan is to add 
*lots* of fairy lights. Because I think they're pretty. :-P

PS. The checkered floor is actually supposed to be carpet tiles. We 
actually have these at work. Unfortunately, the image makes it look 
nothing like carpet! (The wallpaper looks pretty similar to what we have 
at work though. But without the peeling...)

sounds just like the supersampling Antia-Aliasing method he's using.

Post a reply to this message

I use the resolution trick to effectively set a minimum AA depth to pick up 
detail that is less than one pixel big.  I wasn't aware of any way to do 
that in POV itself without forcing every single pixel to be sampled the 
maximum number of times (which is slooow).

Well, here is my doodling from while I was waiting for Terragen2 to show up.
Playing with the idea of developing a series of renderings which illustrates
the progression of putting together a landscape without getting too fancy.
The images are 1)terrain geometry, camera position and basic light,
2)developed lighting, 3)texture and 4) atmosphere. Cute maybe, but I'm not
sure how useful.

Good idea actually :)
It's not really POVRay related but for the last half year i was working on
and off on a high-poly version of the Hiigarian Transport 'Bishop' from the
computer game Homeworld. It's modelled in Wings3D and at the moment I'm
texturing it. The final mesh has over 200K triangles. Once it's done i can
hopefully do some nice images along with my Hiigarian Interceptor model :)

Thief's life, WIP.
The wood texture is placeholder while I figure out isowood. Any advice
on making the tiles look more different? As they are now, it looks like
the tiles were cut from a single large piece of stone, which doesn't
look like the cheap table I was going for.

Add the texture to each tile individualy, with some random translate and rotation.
You can also use 2 repeat warp with some large offset and possibly some flip. 
This way, you can use one texture for the whole table top.

If it's suposed to be a cheap table, you should make it a blured reflection. As 
it is now, it's a very highly polished, extremely smooth marble.
Maybe add some staining to the grout, wine and blood spils are common in those 
low life areas...

Good idea.

I've got three pieces half done. Just lacking the time and enthusiasm to
finish them.

First off, something I ran up while in a sci-fi mood. Needs two more figures

Second is something I've been playing with for months. Initial inspiration
came from the KotOR and KotOR 2 games (Korriban).
I've been fiddling with various options, trying to get something that will
work, and I think this will.

I'm going to put an alter of sorts at the end.

Uhh, I really like this one! And I really have to say that if I compare
some of your latest images to the earlier ones one can clearly see a lot
of progress in technique and artistic style. Although you always ranked

latter ;)

Keep this up, it looks like something I'd like to have on my wall as a

Thank you! :)

I'm curious which latest images you refer to. I haven't done a lot of 3D 
images since 2001.

> Although you always ranked high in the former one and I'm definitely

My earlier images were not very focused on the artistic dimension. They were 
merely technical and visual experiments and occasionally "eye candy" but 
without much artistic thought involved. I feel this has changed, and while I 
still feel very humble towards the great POV-Ray artists, at least I think 
some of the stuff I do now can be considered art in the first place. :)

Wow, thanks for the compliment! Actually, the final product is supposed to 
be several framed posters as visualized in the attached image, the idea 
being that the physical form and arrangement of the individual images in 
relation to each other is an integral element of the whole expression (thus 
the "broken canvas").

It's a stand alone windows EXE (sorry, no Linux version _yet_), and the

I've got a bedside lamp like the one you bought. Yes the arms are live (12 v
IIRC) and I believe that it has an internal fuse that is not replaceable. When I
replaced the bulb, I put the front glass back the wrong way round. Every time it
was switched off it clicked so loud as it cooled down it that would wake me up.
Having said that Rune's lamp looks like an ordinary angle poise, mains voltage.

Rune, great idea for posters. How will you get them printed?

I don't *think* the arms are live, but I'll keep in mind to be careful.

I don't know yet. I have mostly considered local print shops since shipping 
from USA (from eg. Zazzle) to Denmark is somewhat costly, but I'll have to 
find out more about the pricing of various options.

Yes, it's true. I actually don't have any ongoing POV-project I've
touched lately. Today I was repairing my car, yesterday and the day
before that I was sick. But on Wednesday I was doing at least
_something_ I do stand a chance to show - lately I've been enhancing my
entertainment battery. I mean, sorting it out, connecting devices,
making cables (I ran out of solder, argh) etc. So that I can enjoy lots
of stuff again. Excuse me for posting a crappy digiphoto (I might POV
this someday, but not yet;), but it's only in the name of the thread.

If they are, you can modify the lamp to have a nice ladder-effect with
some extra-voltage. Just make sure to filter it out of A) electric
network and B) from the bulb.

I didn't know about that CGSphere thing, thanks for bringing it to my
attention!

For your orange:
try making the hole in the centre a little more ragged around the edges
(maybe by differencing out an isosurface cylinder) and show a few
millimeters of white pithy rind in the cut, to give it more depth...

Thanks, I may try that.  There should be some of the white pithy rind as I
did texture it that way, just not visible I guess.

BTW, I have my next one posted

I got a better looking grid as I was able to use 0.0 AA settings on this one
without having to wait a week.

OK. Apart from Triton and Neptune, I am working on a scene for the Cathy's 
World series. This one is based on a scene from the movie Stalker 
(Tarkovski). Tunnel is built in Silo. The texture is using Rune's patina 
macro. This is a somewhat older version. In the current version light shafts 
are visible but the render time increases tremendously due to the scattering 
effect, so I have no complete render available now. Working on the details.

   Thanks! It took about an hour thanks to the focal blur... otherwise 
it renders fast, as the fish is a mesh and the background just some 
height fields overlapping. The difficult part for an animation would be 
that the fish model is rigid... but I've still to look into Chris 
Colefax mesh macros, as I seem to remember these allow mesh bending.
