Hi all,

I've been using POVRay for a while (off and on).
This is part of a project that I am working on.  Let me know what you think.

Hello!

your first post is very nice, I'm quite impressed. But the blocks looks
quite soft to me not like stone.

Show us more!

Thank you.  I was thinking the same thing about the blocks...  I use an
isosurface with noise added to it to weather the blocks, but I don't quite
have the formulas worked out quite right.

I have some more images in the works, but I still have a ways to go on them.
You will pry see more of me.

I like the composition, lighting also looks good.

Maybe try some pigment function instead of noise for the blocks, it's much
slower but more flexible.

What do I think?! I think it's damn good. Are you using radiosity?

This looks very nice. I like your use of isosurfaces in your textures. Only
one thing is really bothering me about the image. That's the "bricks" used
to create the walls and floors. I beleive the eqyptians used molds and clay
to create their bricks, whereas these bricks appear to be crudely chiseled
from stone. If they did use stone, they polished it very finely (especially
for temples or anyplace of importance). I'm guessing from the ornate artwork
on the broken pilars that this is a place of some importance, so perhaps
smooth out the stone walls and create broken points into them (like you did
on the pilars - smooth, but with chunks missing). I would put the broken
points in the walls roughly corrolating to where these pillars might have
struck the wall when they fell.

Other than that one thing (and it really isn't anything big), I love this
image. Looks great!

FYI, this is a raytracing newsgroup, not photography.  :)

Seriously, this picture is very nice!
A small suggestion, if the light is coming from the sun (through a door,
whole or window), it would be really cool if there were dust particles
floating around and/or light beams.  After all, it's probably been buried
for thousands of years....

Wow, looks like you've iso'd everything, the shapes and textures look really
good.

if it's outside, the blocks would be weathered, if inside, not.  also
the floor should be really smooth since even ancient morons could make a
smooth floor.  just an oversight on your part i'm sure.  aside from
that, i really like it.  the worn thingies with writting is a neat
idea.  did you get the idea from somebody's brick and stucco or is it
your own texture from scratch?

You can add a bit of phong to the blocks to make them look a bit harder.
