Last year I did a brief series of Friday Abstracts to kill time during
the slow periods at work. Since buying a new computer over the new
year, I've started going over some of my old work and updating it to

a) use the newer features of MegaPov, and,

b) do those things that I never had the processing power to match my
lack of patience :-)

fa0002 has changed beyond all recognition (either the file had become
corrupted, or isosurfaces work differently now), but it still works on
the principle that all the objects are white/reflective, and the
colour comes from the light sources.

fa0003, changed the media filled sphere sweeps with strings of glows
and added radiosity.

fa0004, plain white objects (no reflection), colour comes from 360
individual light sources (each a slightly different hue from the
other.)

Comments, (or should I stop posting?)

I was a big fan of your Friday Abstracts, and still have the source
code over here.  I really like the new versions too.

Thanks for every body's comments. I was going to restart the friday
abstract series. But due to three bits of bad news (in order-
Monday:company I work for is relocating, Tuesday:girlfriend of six
years leaves, Thursday: uncle dies) I have other thinks on my mind, so
IRTC and Friday Abstract projects have been dropped for the time
being.

Attached are the current state of my IRTC entry (as it is unfinished,
its connection with the topic is lost) and the image that was going to
be this Friday's Abstract.

Bye for now, see you soon.

Forgot to mention, texture on the "cubes" is a modified version of
Samuel Benge's maze macro, post early last year.

Wow, I really like the cubes one.  My favorite colors too.

Sorry to hear 'bout the news.
