In this case, with the vertical pillars being an important element, it
seems a perfectly valid choice of camera.

Yes. Also, y of camera position and look at are identical. For a
landscape that would be rather dull but here it works well as there is
no visible horizon. Some camera tilt would beg for Dr John's device ;-)

Nice image.
I just have a little critique (: the feet of Cathy do not seem to touch
the ground, it lacks shadows maybe.

Wrong. They /do/ touch. She is standing mostly on the black tile so any
shadow is invisible indeed; and that part of the scene is only
illuminated indirectly.

Very good indeed. :-D
I wonder why there is haze when the sun is quite high in the sky?
What did you use for the frescos and who is the cloaked person looking
at them?
It calls for a caption or sub-title. Mine would be:
"Well, favourite sister. Have you done anything interesting since your
last visit?"
(And do tell him not to eat the fish. Like last time. I got into no end
of trouble.)

I don't know the climate where Cathy lives, but when the northern trade winds
stir up the Sahara desert, the sky here in the Caribbean can be hazy at any time
of day.

The radiosity looks very good here, much better than in your drafts. FWIW,
Cathy does not appear to be floating to me.

The frescos come with Del Fabbro's cloister model. I only added a
crackle normal.
In my view, this is a small community of monks (survived the Martians) :-)

They certainly do! Big cigars! :-)
Which reminds me of the nineteen fifties when priests were reputed for
their cigar smoking habits (or so it was in NL at least).

Yes, I know. You have made a great work on this scene, and all I see (I
seem see) is a non-existent detail. I deserve the washing-up punishment.

Excellent! I do not even have such an overview myself, except my own
archives of course! Thanks for this!
What I can add to this is that #3 A Time of Change, appeared - iirc - in
one of the competitions of the first avatar of the TC-RTC in 2007 which
is not accessible any more on the web. I am not sure if wips were
discussed here. For completeness sake, a copy is attached here.
#5 De Dulle Griet is a wip from 2007-2008. I stopped its development
because of conflicting ideas I had about what the image would be in the
end: In fact, a double image, one showing 'reality' (the copy I attach
here) and one showing Cathy's imagination. I may revisit some day...

Good jobs! Why not show Cathy in armor (imagination) and the reflect in
the mirror with the reality on the De Dulle Griet image?

The idea was indeed something like that with Hieronymus Bosch creatures
escaping from the mirror behind Cathy's back.

They are Medieval and show a Dance of the Dead. According to the info
with the original model, they should be from Pieve Di Cadore in Italy.
However, I have been unable to find mention of them on Internet, not
even on the town's official site. Mystery. Also, they appear to have
been composited from at least two different sources.

They might be indeed. Which reminds me of 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' by
Walter Miller Jr. No doubt, that book inspired part of this image if not
this series.
In fact, the Martians are a little joke in this series. Its /real/ topic
is a post-industrial world.

I like the overall atmosphere of the image, but there's one things that's bugging the
snot outta me.
The bottom plate for the pillars (the edge that the pillars rest on) seems to sit on
top of the tile floor. It's never done that way because the plate is part of the
foundation,
so the tiles should butt up against the bottom plate. Other thing is the alingment of
the tiles. On the left the black tiles should meet with the corner up to the plate,
and the
same thing on the right for the white tiles.

You actually provided the list (through #12) a few months ago. I just did the
searches.

Cathy appears twice in this one. (Or does she have a twin sister?)

The mirror reminds me of my telescope's primary mirror after the Caribbean salt
air got through with it--only my mirror looked a lot worse. (Awsome Rolex
attached.)

Oh. That's a bad case of corrosion indeed and a pity for such a special
object.

It is just an illusion because the tiles do not extend under the plate.
The tile surface is bevelled against them. As for the alignment, two
things come to mind: (1) laziness (mine); (2) the 'builders' did not
care. ;-)
In RL (2) is present everywhere around us. In fact, one can hardly adapt
the size of a building to the size of the tiles ;-) [only we can do that
in csg of course]. So, my philosophy is that I do not care and like to
leave those imperfections which are more life-like as it where than a
perfect geometric pattern.

Now, this is interesting! In the summer of 1969, as a small group of
students and one staff member from the university, we made a walking
tour through Corsica, particularly the mountainous interior, for fun
/and/ for the geology. As we did not arrive all at the same time, we had
a graffiti sign to indicate where we were and/or where we were going.
That sign was exactly like your drawing except that the wall was the sea
surface.
I am sure it was not original by itself, but I do not remember where it
came from...

I note down this author who I did not know.

The "over here, over paid and over sexed" brigade brought it with them
in WWII. It was popular in Britain up to the sixties (IIRC). Kilroy is
generally peering over a wall.
It went out of fashion when the New Yorkers came up with subway art. No
we have Banksy.

Best of luck.
My wife has an early edition of it and the woodcuts are macabre.
Beautiful in an essence of Hieronymus Bosch.

Ha! I have (re?)learned something! Different possibilities: (1) Somehow,
I never made the connection and/or I have never been really exposed to
the correct graphic expressions; (2) the connection was lost at the time
we re-used the graphics; (3) I have simply forgotten today the details
of our use back then in the sixties. Fascinating.

Ouch! Ouch! How, the pain...
At least, the mirror been usualy made of glass, it's just a mather of
removing the aluminium and getting a new coat. But you need to find a
place where they can do it.

Thanks indeed. However, the renders are not perfect as they were made
with POV-Ray 3.6 which has/had gamma problems amongst other things. The
result is rather washed out and with pale complexions for the Poser
figures. With version 3.7 that belongs all to the past. If I have time,
I shall provide new renders.

So that's what it was.
I always had to view them with adjusted Gamma.

Yes, and I had a hell of a time to get a decent skin texture without
knowing what the problem was... until Christoph jumped into the gamma
pit and changed the world forever after :-)
