Hi,

I really only did this cause I like the look of my icecube.

It looks a bit cartoonish but hey. I need to add drips and stuff to make 
it look real, but the ones I tried on detracted from it.

It's povray 3.5 + gimp to stick on the text.

The cube is your basic isosurface noise3d cube. As is obvious, it's all 
pretty simple stuff.

What do you think ?

Cheers,

  - Justin

I think if you can do the drips and splashes of water on the
table, it will be nice.

I also like it as it is, though.  Render a nice large version and
ask the KDE* team to bundle that wallpaper with their next
release.  Seriously! 

(Or do they have similar wallpaper already?  I haven't used KDE
for a while.)

* No bias for KDE.  Any other Linux DE should also be fine.

Nice effect :) Try adding some turbulence to table pigment maybe

#macro g(U,V)(.4*abs(sin(9*sqrt(pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))))*pow(1-min(1,(sqrt(
pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))*.3)),2)+.9)#end#macro p(c)#if(c>1)#local l=mod(c,100
);g(2*div(l,10)-8,2*mod(l,10)-8)*p(div(c,100))#else 1#end#end light_source{

Just tree or four drops on the table?

How about adding an alpha channel to the Tux image map. This way
you could fake Tux to be a "real" figure and not just an image on a
white piece of paper. Doing so should be no problem with the Gimp.

And yes, a little work on the table texture would also be fine.

Dear Justin,

 Wonderful. The  bubbles are also really nice looking!
If you don't mind, I'd like to know how you did the bubbles inside the cube.

Thanks,

The bubbles are pretty simple, here is the code for the whole cube:

intersection {

   isosurface {
       function { 
f_rounded_box(x,y,z,0.05,1,1,1)-f_noise3d(x*1.9,y*2.2,z*1.9)*0.2}
        contained_by { box {<-10,-10,-10><10,10,10>} }
        accuracy 0.01
       threshold 0
        max_gradient 1.34

   }

#local seedvar = seed (14);
#local nbub = 0;
#while (nbub < 150)
   sphere { 
<((rand(seedvar)-0.5)*1.8),((rand(seedvar)-0.5)*1.8),((rand(seedvar)-0.5)*1.8)>,rand(seedvar)*0.08

inverse}
   sphere { 
<((rand(seedvar)-0.5)*.8),((rand(seedvar)-0.5)*.8),((rand(seedvar)-0.5)*.8)>,rand(seedvar)*0.03

inverse}
   #local nbub = nbub + 1;
#end
   texture { pigment { Col_Glass_General } finish { F_Glass6 } normal { 
bumps 0.1 scale 0.2 } }
   interior { I_Glass1  }

     photons {
       target
       refraction on
       reflection on
     }
        rotate <0,3,0>
        translate <0,1.1,4>
}

Cheers,

  - Justin
