Here's another idea (even though the RSOCP idea hasn't taken off yet).
Why don't we make a vast, virtual storehouse of unfinished projects?
Each object can be placed on shelves, each scaled down to about one unit
(without stretching). Each member of the community can render a portion
of the scene, based on the number of volunteers and individual computer
specs. Of course, we would need some way of handling memory consumption.

Thanks! I can see area for improvement, such as the left portion of the
face. I see aliasing :(

Thanks Yadgar! I almost made the texture like that of real granite, but
the pps would have plummeted...

Cannot express my thrill that is based on the experience of the Archetypes.
Older than time itself, they are the glue that holds everything together. If
they were to stop doing what they do everything would cease to exist as though
it never were.
There are more than 22 of the Major Arcana renditions.
Enough cannot be said of these giants of consciousness. They exist beyond the
edge of time and space. If one were worthy of such a journey they would meet
these huge ten story statues that you never see moving, but look away for
second and they have moved. Able to do it all, they hold the blueprints of
reality creation. Whatever you seek is at hand but first you must give the
requested gift once approved, an approval that is not your decision. No one
journeys here alone and all can be granted. You will be asked to give of
yourself and that is the greatest gift of all and such small price to have it
all.

Gotta link for that?

Okay, I'll just have to make the code suitable for distribution and pack
the files into a zip. It will be posted to p.b.scene-files.

Is that Jungian philosophy? Psychedelic shamanism? I'm always interested
in such things.

This comes from my head and my journeys with a friend and a spark of love. I was
informed that Jung had the more correct "philosphy" of all the writers. I have
not had time to read Jung but I am getting that he is the "most correct" Some
of what I have learned would likely be found there.
I'll be looking for your source and thank you. I'll run with it and make
something great as an effort of repayment.

As opposed to Freudian psychology? I would have to agree. I find Freud's
analysis of the human condition to be much too animalistic; it doesn't
give enough credit to the higher cognitive states of homo sapiens :)

Perhaps the correlation is linked to an unusually disproportionate
allocation of project time versus grooming time...

Wow, I don't know if I'll ever be able to match that. The German and

I don't think I ever really used any special tricks for that image. The
hardest part was making the pigment patterns match up for the isosurface
head and isosurface body. It was just a matter of translating things. It
looks like I posted the source here:

Obviously the source had already examined very carefully. ;-)

Oops, I didn't realize what you were asking for. I just posted an
updated copy of the code to povray.text.scene-files. It's actually quite
a simple effect to create. It's not physically accurate, but should be
enough to get you started :)

Nice. Not half bad for a demo scene. Let's see... film grain, bokeh, chromatic
aberration, lens flare, lightsys... I guess JPEG artifacts are easy enough to
add. That still leaves purple fringing, blue channel noise, crud on the
sensor. Collect that into a coherent system, and we'd have a pretty
comprehensive camera model!

That's a pretty amazing image. Bad, but in a good way. ;-)
When I was a kid, I had a camera that took pictures like this (on a large-format
negative!) Rather horrible results--but it was one of my most cherished

The houses? It's rubbish :( It's actually a test scene for a
neighborhood of houses setup I was working on the other day. I idea was
to test cells and place the appropriate unit block according to the
surrounding cells. It works, but adding complexity seems to multiply
certain problems like roof shingles not meeting up right.

My webcam takes aberrated shots similar to this. I had originally
designed the code so that I could add fake elements to scenes and tie
them into real photos. I can still do that, but I doubt I would be able
to fool any of you :)

stbenge, I tried your aberrate scene today and I can get the film grain to work
but not the chromatic abberation. I've tried using both the default settings
and some random ones on my own. Any advice as to what I might be missing would
be greatly appreciated. I really want to try abberatting some pictures because
it will contribute a lot to my undetailed amateur images. =) Thank you for the
work you put into this! If it matters, I'm using POV 3.6.1 on a windows
machine.

Hello,
I tried it with 3.6 and it didn't work for me either. So I came up with
this workaround. Replace the last object with this:
sphere{<0,0,10>,12
pigment{
#if(Noise>0)
crackle solid
scale .001
color_map{
[0 rgb 0 transmit 1-Noise]
[1/6 rgb y transmit 1-Noise]
[2/6 rgb 0 transmit 1-Noise]
[3/6 rgb x transmit 1-Noise]
[4/6 rgb 0 transmit 1-Noise]
[5/6 rgb z transmit 1-Noise]
}
#else
rgbt 1
#end
}
interior{
ior 1.0
dispersion Aberration
dispersion_samples Aberration_Samples
}
}

Hi,
Thank you very much! Your work around makes the chromatic abberation work as
shown in your previous pics.
I went through your code and just a few minutes ago saw that it was the effects
plane that was causing the problems. As a temporary fix I just changed the
plane to box{2,-2 ....[the rest of the code in the plane block]...} . It seems
to work too, but because you understand your macro more in depth than I do at
the moment I shall use the code posted by you. Thanks again.

Ah, good idea. It actually renders more slowly than the sphere, though.
If I had thought of using a box I would have released it that way.
Either way, the time saved using a sphere is negligible :)

What's so special about this effect? I see this with *every* picture =B)
(takes off high-refractive-index-plastic glasses... =;)... wipes them, puts them
back on to see again... =B)...)

The fact that you *shave* is telling! Shame on you. A real beard wearer
uses scissors, and then only parciminously... So, I am afraid that the Board

So many clubs...
I am not a member (yet?) of that one, so I don't know... :-)

If that is a hint then it doesn't work for me. My hair doesn't take dye very
well. Admittedly the last time I tried was 30 years ago and I noticed my first
silver thread when I was 13. So I learned to live with it. :)

No, not at all... this would be just shave-dodging! And, be honest - the
80s have long passed by, there's absolutely no need anymore to mimick
George Michael! Perhaps you should better try to emulate Devendra
Banhart or the Fleet Foxes...
As a contrast, attached here an example of a REAL POVghan beard...

Sometimes I wonder if my glasses make me the only person who sees lens
flares in real life. :-)

I don't know if you are calling the code beautiful, or if you consider
it obfuscated :)

I see glare shining from every bright object. It doesn't have to be very
bright, either. It's so bad that my distance vision is no longer as
clear as it used to be. We all get old in different ways :(

Yes, building a private website is a lifelong task...

Ha!
"Sloopy kütt us Kölle, jenau jesacht us Radertha-hal,
Sloopy is Abteilungsleiterin beim C & A-ha..."
(BAP, "Hang On Sloopy", from the album "BAP rockt andere kölsche Leeder")
(Translation:
"Sloopy's from Cologne, precisely, from Raderthal,
Sloopy is a department manager at C & A... [well-known German textile
retail chain])
So, together with Tom Aust, we're already three POVers from Cologne!
See you in Khyberspace - or perhaps someday in real life!
P. S. I'm in Niehl...

No hint there :-) Just wondering about the silence of the club... They
probably dyed their hair and pulled out of the club altogether. :-)
But yes, I know what you mean. I was a little bit older though.
