I've just gotten back to using Pov after several years away. I thought I
would finally post to this group that had been so helpful to me.

So, I may have played a little loose with the concept, but here it is. It
uses Gilles Tran's MakeGrass and Jaime Vives Piqueres' 2-pass radiosity
(although not too well, I'm afraid). I don't remember how long it took to
render.

I wish I could get the contrast a lot higher, it's kind of greyed out. Looks
a lot better after contrast and saturation fiddling, but I'd rather learn
to do that in Pov directly.

Nice interpretation of the RSOCP-Theme, really!
Although the image could benefit much of some additional work on it, i do
already like it very much.
Do you have attempts to develop it further?

Regards Roman

Quite nicely done! The guy on the "sphere" looks like I feel when I have set
up a nice scene but I don't have the CPU "oomph" to render it in a
realistic time... *sigh*!

Thanks!

As far as developing it; well, I really only intend to make the contrast and
lighting better, and maybe the grass. Working on other images now- if I get
back to this one it will take all of my time up.

Thank you! It took me some time to get the figure into what I thought was a
"reflective" pose, ha ha.

I know what you mean with realistic render times- I have just started to
experiment with radiosity.

P.S. what a fine name you have :)

Hah! Yeah, I hadn't seen that, but it works. I saw other, less flattering
organic materials to compare it too-- *after* I spent a long time rendering
it, of course.
