The postures I'm happy with, the clothes and such I'm not completely. That

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
high in the former one and I'm definitely the wrong person to judge the
latter ;)

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

Thank you! :)

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

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").

The one image which just keeps popping into my head when I read your

it's CG after all :)

well, I guess a sneak-preview won't hurt.

It's a walk through of our new house, modeled in Rhino3D, textures rendered
in povray (currently playing with radiosity), walk through using the
Blender game engine.

It's a stand alone windows EXE (sorry, no Linux version _yet_), and the
texture jpg's _must_ be located in C:woning or else it won't work.

Just unzip the file in C: and rename the directory from C:woning5 to

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'm very happy to be associated with that image in particular. It's the most 
personal image I have yet created and I'm really happy that it has left an

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

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

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.

The tree looks good, especially the bark texture.  Some colored reflective

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

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.

When I've found the time for POVing recently, it's usually had something
to with Christoph's POVAny-scripts (swell), however, I'm working on some
scenes/textures/techniques, like usually ... lessee if I manage to attach
several files.  First one is very basic ray tracing :)

For the water, I decided to use the normal as a function for a height_field.
I'm pretty happy with it.

#declare w1 =

 pigment {color rgbt <1, 1, 1, 1>}
 normal {
  average
  normal_map {
   [1.0 agate 0.25 scale <0.5, 0.1, 0.2>]
   [1.0 granite 0.25 scale <0.5, 0.1, 0.2>]
  }
 }
 finish {
  specular 1
  roughness 0.003
  diffuse 0.3
  reflection {
   0, 0.5
   fresnel on
  }
 }
}

#local wp1 =
pigment {
 average
 pigment_map {
  [1.0 agate scale <0.5, 0.1, 0.2>]
  [1.0 granite scale <0.5, 0.1, 0.2>]
 }
}

#declare fnWater = function {pigment {wp1}}

height_field {
  function 2000, 2000 { fnWater(x, y, z).grey * 0.85 }
  smooth
  translate <-0.5, -0.5, -0.5>

How about this ice. I work over it (and snow too) for 5 days :).
It's a part of my "complexity" entry.

Thanks.  It seems the voters don't seem to think so though.  All 3 of mine
are currently around 5.5/10.  Not that I think mine are fabulous, but I
think they are better than that, especially looking at a lot of the higher
ranked ones. Either a lot of voting down or maybe just really critical
voters.  Oh well, as long as I've enjoyed making them.

I may try out how your suggestion looks as well.

Sorry, I posted twice (the server told me an error for the first one ...).

Nearly completed Christmas scene.  I will finish with radiosity enabled for
the final version.

This is a beautiful scene, almost surrealistic. I like that very much. The 
water is fine indeed.

I'm also working on an image for CGSpheres.  It's a Tesla Coil, but I still
need to add a couple bugs flying around.

Even an image this small took 9 and a 1/2 hours to do.  I think it might
have been the radiosity and 1500+ light sources.  Even without the
radiosity, this still takes some significant time to render.
