Here's a police badge that I've been working on, but I'm having some trouble
with the design of the silver triangular pieces. A real badge has some type
of floral design (as y'all can see in the small photograph), but this is a
little too complicated for me to make with POV. Anyone have any suggestions
about how to make a simple but appealing design for the triangular areas?
Hopefully, this will ultimately be part of a CD cover for a computer program
that I've been working on.
Regards,
Dave

Use a paint program ( e.g. PSP ) to create a heightfield.

Someone recently did a Celtic knot macro which might give you what you
need for the triangular bits.

I concur with Ken, an hf is probably what would work best. here's the
results I came up with.
The code:
height_field {
png "badge2.png"
smooth
pigment { color rgb <0.906,0.737,0.282> }
translate <-.5, -.5, -.5>
scale <17, 1, 17>
clipped_by {
box {
<-10,0.1,-10>
<10,5,10>
}
}
}
attached: hftest.gif (rendered heightfield)
badge2.png (source for hf)

If I can suggest, I think there is too much different colors in the badge... A
real badge would have a nice 3-5 colors design... and I mean White, red, brown,
yellow, etc... only those, no shade of colors... actually the shade should be
made by the antialiasing...

Now why didn't I think of a height field? I also like the Celtic knot idea -
that has a lot of potential also, and it's unique. Thanks for the great
ideas, folks!
Regards,
Dave

I agree, Simon. I failed to mention that the end result of this will be a
black and white "undertone." Hard to explain, so here's a picture...

Congratulations. For some reason the .png that you attached made ACDSee
fall over every time I tried to look at it.
What did you use to create the .png? I'm just curious to see if I can
reproduce the occurrence.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

I used Paintshop Pro 6 to create the png. I forgot there was an alpha
channel involved, maybe that did it.
Is this better?

Ok, then in this image I agree it looks good! and just need a little tweak for
the triangles as you said before...
Maybe a bumpmap of leaf patterns?
