It's nothing to look forward too.  I moved in January, for the last time
in my life ever:-(  I lost my song book in the process, this was a file
of songs with chords built up over about 16 years, and now it's gone.

Big change to your usual stuff, it looks almost Bryce.  Nice image though.

Nice.
How did you do the rocket fire? I know it's probably simple, but I've been
trying to get a similar effect with media and I just can't get it right. Could
you post the code for the flames?

Thanks,

Nekar

Nekar,

it requires MegaPOV by Nathan Kopp, and uses the changed version of
emission media.

		hollow
		pigment { rgbt <1,1,1,1> }
		finish { ambient 0 diffuse 0 }
		interior {
			media {
				emission { 2, 1 }
				method 3
				intervals 5
				samples 10,10
				density {
					spherical
					colour_map {
						[0 rgb 0]
						[0.5 rgb <0.1,0,0>]
						[0.9 rgb <0.9,0.9,0>]
						[1 rgb 1]
					}
				}
			}
		}

Regards,
Justin Whitton

You could get a very similar effect using absorption in combination with 
emission instead of that special emission, but MegaPOV is still very 
helpful for media (mainly because of sampling method 3).

I should have clarified, to use the source snippet posted you need
MegaPOV.

As Chris rightly says you can get the same effect using emission and
absorption (I've done it that way in the past), but using the new
emission type in MegaPOV reduces the requirements of brain CPU cycles
:-)

[And I'm trying desperately not to upset Chris because his
implementation of Glows in MegaPOV is one of my favourite features,
thanks Chris.]

No don't like it, it's a cheat.

a) It's not transmissive, it's only variable reflection on a plane
with a normal. (Single colour plane.)

plane { y, 0
	interior {
		ior 1.5
	}
	texture {
		pigment { rgb <0,0.3,0.2> }
		normal { granite 0.02 scale <10,20,5> rotate y*36 }
		finish {
			ambient 0
			diffuse 1
			reflection_type 1
			conserve_energy
		}
	}
}

b) the stars have been set to "vampire" mode with no_reflection
because they looked "odd" when reflected on this water.

There once was a time when I tried to make my scenes internally
coherent, i.e. if you placed the camera anywhere in the scene you
would get a picture of the scene, not the back of a cardboard cut-out.
Now it's more of a case of please don't go out of the bounds of the
designated viewing area :-(

Too late, I already like it.
