Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted an image to these newsgroups. I can
never seem to finish my projects...
The rock formation is composed of two isosurfaces: one for the head and
another for the body. Each portion has it's own png file to give the
impression of character.
The scene was rendered in two passes. The second pass adds the bloom
effect. Low radiosity and high isosurface settings were used.
The whole thing rendered in just under ten minutes, thanks to the low
radiosity settings.
Questions and comments are welcome, as always~
Sam

You're not the only one. Excellent work though. Has an effect you don't see
too often in POV-Ray. Kinda like this one.

Keep it up.

Thanks. No on the Rushmore idea. I find the whole prospect a
spirit-crushingly boring one. Unless I did something to the of the
presidents...

My first impression upon seeing Tek's image was that it was photo. Then
I thought, wait, those rocks somehow resemble the granite pattern. Then
I remember seeing the entry some time ago :)

Sure will. Here's another version of the same image, this time with a
little chromatic aberration and film grain (rendered in POV, sans bloom).

An impressive combination of effects. Now you just need too much unsharp mask ,
excessive channel-dependent noise-reduction -- oh, and some of that hideous
purple digital-camera bloom -- and you'll have yourself a real photo.

Me neither. :-)

I love this! The "formation" has a lot of character built into it, but it
still leaves the viewer believing that it's just a natural rock formation.
Nothing appears to be "man-made" or artificial. Very nice.

You know you have been raytracing too long when you see a render and
instantly know what patterns were used.
It would be more worrying if you could recognize the isosurface function
by looking at a shape, though.

Impressive... the rock texture reminds me of the sandstone cliffs at
Bamiyan, Afghanistan, the site of the former giant carved rock Buddha
statues blown up by the Taliban in 2001 - or even of the Buddhas themselves!
