Hello everyone,
This image was inspired by a sketch I made a few months ago.
It was rendered in three passes: one for the occlusive radiosity which
affects the reflectivity of the metal, another for the focal blur and
glossy metal, and the last for the luminous bloom effect. The dark halos
around the tail are caused by an incompatibility between Rune's
illusion.inc and POV's focal blur. Nothing short of creating my own
focal blur and rendering an occlusive pass for several averaged frames
will fix it, AFAIK.
Comments and questions are always appreciated~

*Nice* image!
The little bit of blur in the tail almost gives it a motion-blur effect,
which isn't a bad thing.

My two cents:
0.01: That is an absolutely gorgeous render.
0.02: The design reminds me of the creatures from this Flash game:

Free range orphans are known to be a viable alternative to pressure
treated lumber. An alternative is organic pandas. The high bamboo
content in the pandas' diet makes them excellent kindling. They also
make great kitchen countertops in a loft with a black & white theme.

A version without "luminous bloom"?

I had that vague recollection as well initially.

Nice image! But where's the illusion?

Oh yes, I've played this one before. It supposedly works from
evolutionary principles.
For a while (a span of 5 years) I was beset with dreams involving
similar creatures in ponds and such. The last one I had involved me
pulling little ingrown hairs out of my arms, only they weren't ingrown
hairs, they were little bugs with many legs, some of them still moving!
Needless to say, I was happy to wake up from that dream :O

Thanks! Illusion.inc is the name of the file which allows an image_map
to be placed directly in front of a render. You can apply the pigment to
any objects you want. You can perform many compositing tricks this way.

Any tutorials about this anywhere? If not, maybe someone should create
one.

Yep. It does look different, but the habitus and the idea of a metallic,
robotic bug makes mind-bridges.

Is this a hint? Are you trying to say that I should be the one to do
this? Well, perhaps I should, since nobody else is stepping up :)
The POV-Ray wiki seems to be the perfect place to post such a tut. Can
binary files (besides images) be uploaded to the wiki? I'm asking
because somebody requested an explanation for my weathered rocks a while
back, and I would like to place the necessary files in a more secure
place. My own web space is slight, and is not very permanent.

Should be able to - if you can't, MediaWiki can be modified to accept
files with specific extensions. I think zip is included as part of the
default set, though. If the file is over a certain size, you'll get a
warning, but it should let you continue.

Well, I'll keep this in mind. The POV-Wiki is already giving me problems...

Creepy yet gorgeous. I'm just amazed at how quickly--and seemingly
effortlessly--you manage to turn out one beautiful render after another. I'm in
awe--and a bit envious! :-)

Thanks, I know of illusion.inc. I was actually curious
where this image required a compositing trick ;)

I'm also envious but comfort myself by the fact
that I at least didn't have to dream about this ;)

Had to comment cos it's such a nice render, if a little creepy ;-)
All your images have the same mixture of dreamlike quality and convincing
photorealism - whenever I see your name on a post I know it'll be interesting!
Keep it up

Oops, sorry about the misunderstanding!
1) I prerendered the scene using basic white textures and sky-dome-style
radiosity. This was to achieve an ambient occlusion effect.
2) The prerendered image was pasted onto the objects in the next render,
and a finish{reflection 1 metallic 1} was added to that texture. The
effect being that the objects' reflections were reduced by the shading
data from the prerender. (I hope that made sense)

Thanks! I'll try to spread what knowledge I have about these techniques
in the weeks/months to come.

Well, it's been called creepy several times now, so I guess I succeed
somewhat :)

TopNotch(c), Sam. That image is just excellent. :)
I'd love that as a hi-res for my desktop, but with a dark background and
just a spotlight playing on it?
