It's also reminiscent of: Stephen J. Cannell 's production logo (Cannell typing
on his typewriter, then pulling out the page; it flutters down to a stack of
papers which curl into a series of concentric C's).

Thanks for the idea - I was thought about different repeated elements -
using pieces of paper sounds very intrigues.

 Even

Yes bending are symetric because is just a part of hyperbolic
paraboloid, aka saddle.

The "deckled edge" on the pile is an effect of the radiosity.
The edges are straight as in real leaves.
In the previous version, pages are randomly offset.
Now they are all aligned.

oh brother, _nice_.  and "Geheim" !! </grin>  if the web i/f didn't choke on

Whoa - very nice.
How are you doing that?  Screenshots, or are you using text {} objects...?

I like it a lot. Better imho in the version without patterns.

I used the simplest method (maybe not the best):
- Print the SDL code as a pdf
- Converting pages to jpeg
- UV mapping



I'd thought of using a "text texture"*. Too many things to manage
manually, such colors, line breaks...
Very complicated and requires a lot of code, so I gave up.



* : something like texture { pigment { object { text { ... } }

Yes, I was just wondering - because someone had posted a scene where they had
sort of written their own parser and used that to create a scene with properly
color-formatted text of an SDL scene.

Still can't find the post or the render.


It would be nice to have a copy-paste utility to do such a thing, because yes -
it's complicated and requires a lot of code to do text properly in SDL.

Maybe an OpenOffice macro would be the way to go...
Or a spreadsheet...

Yes, yes, I know exactly what you mean.

Me neither :(
