...and a quicky with the state of the art of Triton. Showing the Hell<exp>3
crack (without fire at the bottom). I still have to work on the scale and
proportions of things concerning Triton. Neptune is finished for the time
being.

Yes. My C128 is resting, it's 64's turn now :).

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 :)

The land, the water and clouds too (i think) are actually

I have been trying my hand at some landscape generation.
Here I have also been playing around with the media trees from Gilles'
makecloud demo scenes. The trees are not my work!

For the water, I decided to use the normal as a function for a height_field.
I'm pretty happy with it.
#declare w1 =
texture {
//pigment {rgb <1, 1, 1> transmit 1}
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>
scale <200, 1, 200>
texture {w1}
interior {
ior 1.3
media {
absorption <0.25, 0.1, 5.0, 0.5>*1
scattering { 2 <0.2, 0.6, 0.4> }
}
fade_distance 2
fade_power 1001
}
}

Excellent :) reminds me of old times...
Now I need to get inspired and create something. I'm thinking about
dusting off wings and trying a few things, now. Or, maybe I'll get back
to my fake house project. I've been meaning to work on that one.
Anyway, I enjoyed everyone's images very much. Thanks again!

How about this ice. I work over it (and snow too) for 5 days :).
It's a part of my "complexity" entry.
But without blue sky and radiosity snow looks ugly.

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.

Here is an attempt to diamonds (and a humble contribution to the 'rendrering
lull' topic). After a quick look to gemologists sites for the cut angles.

Looks pretty good to me. What kind of ior are you using? Trace level?

Reflective spheres, superellipsoids, torii, blobs, and *lots* of fairy
lights still to come... :-D

Already I'm making a railway with the train and bridge. Camera is located
under the train a little from back. There is also an old destroyed "High
Voltage" sign laying on the rails. there are first renders. I'm waiting for
comments :).

Yes so did I, it turned out like quite a good idea. But I guess it isn't
something we can do every week...

Hello.
I posted in p.b.s-f my include file for diamonds macro, and here is the test

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.
